Unnamed Tutanota client(s)
This is a number unofficial mail client for encrypted service Tutanota.
- Android client
- Desktop translator/bridge from Tutanota API to IMAP/SMTP
Current state
Currently it's alpha-quality so use at your own risk. It may eat your glue and steal your dog. There is no support from Tutanota team and no one guarantees your safety when using this.
The project started as a Kotlin Multiplatform experiment but quickly focused on Android client initially. JS/web project was abandoned because of the poor tooling. It was fixed since then and it's possible to start with it again.
Bridge has some basic viewing of emails and sending of plain emails. No support for attachments or operations (like move, read) yet. Has some kind of offline cache.
Goals for Android
Goals:
- see how far we can get with low effort
- be a nice-looking, well-behaved native app
- be secure and try to avoid executing Javascript
- have offline caching
Non-goals:
- implement all the Tutanota web client features
- implement all apps inside Tutanota (e.g. Calendar)
Current state proves that with limited feature set it is feasible to build a native client.
