[tor-dev] Torbirdy - IMAP issue
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Accessing an email server via IMAP may leak data by saving a draft on
the remote server.
Using Thunderbird+Enigmail+Torbirdy.
While writing a message on Thunderbird, it is automatically saved as a
draft, which by default is sent to the IMAP server. So the server will
be able to read that message.
That's a big problem when the message should be encrypted before sent.
So the email provider will be able to read sensitive data on those
drafts in cleartext and the user probably won't notice.
To solve this the user need to manually set the account drafts
settings (in Copies & Folders) to keep drafts on Local Folders.
I think Torbirdy should do it by default.
This info should be added to known issues on Torbirdy wiki.
I know Torbirdy developers recommend POP over IMAP, but as a
mailtor.net user I don't have any other option.
