Comment on mnm is not mail – a sane network protocol for emailparent

Comments

For personal backup/archiving, there's replication to multiple clients, also described on the website.

Someone will create a web service that implements a TMTP client to replicate your account in the cloud. That's fine for many consumers, but must not be the default.

Actually I think I'm not understanding this properly... does the phrase 'messaging service' mean the email service, i.e the server? So the server would not store my mail, but the client would?

I guess the answer is obvious. Sorry, I didn't read this properly. Good work on this!

Yes the client stores your mail, and the messaging service (aka server) simply relays it between clients.

Thanks for the encouragement!
