That's more of an argument for decoupling though. Why can't I have a local permanently-updated "fetch mails via IMAP"-tool and then a mostly dumb GUI mail client that does not care about cipher changes for 10 years? If someone's about to comment with fetchmail, shoo :P I've never seen that work properly on Windows, it's not end user friendly and I'm not sure how to put "decoupling" better - all I'm saying is that for how email works at least, no, Thunderbird wouldn't necessarily need the means to talk to servers, something local via socket/named pipe/filesystem might be enough - but this would mean more of a paradigm shift and yes, it would maybe also be bad for end-to-end crypto (depends how you define the end, it's still your machine...) |
