I have a narrow topic question ... not the usual "big picture" stuff. Anyone want to help brainstorm about:
Let's assume that in Freedombox 1.0 - ready in maybe 6 months? - we have an initial solution for email service. So the box serves SMTP and, I guess, it serves POP and/or IMAP and, over HTTP, some email client. Let's not immediately assume encryption stuff has to be working (unless it's really easy) but let's assume it has to get working ASAP. We can release without it but it shouldn't be far behind, so to speak. It has to be freakin' easy to administer. (Right?) The MUA has to be appealing but we might bicker about exactly what that means. Spam protection, blah blah. Let's assume for now ordinary DNS based mail addresses. We can get fancier after the basics are up. THE QUESTION(S): What's the right stack for that part? How do we pick? What does administration of it look like? What is the user experience like? How does the stack evolve over time? I don't expect perfect and final answers to these questions -- I'm just trying to understand how the group approaches questions like this. I don't expect to establish any group consensus at this point -- I'm just trying to get a sense of how we're all thinking about questions like that. (I have my own half-baked answers to the questions but I don't think they are interesting.)
