Okay, so quick overview of what I'm going to talk about is so first some introduction about me and Davokat and then I'll talk about some quick prototypes that I developed for like in a just only a few hours of days or something and then hopefully some
00:27
demoing and for those demos I'm using my gmail account so you can if you want to see your some test emails or something on the screen you can send some test
00:41
emails to that gmail account and hopefully you won't break any of my tests but okay so I've been coding for a really long time and I've been yeah so I guess my biggest first first big open source projects was IRC client except I
01:09
haven't really done anything about it for I don't know eight years or nothing but so okay Davokat was the next thing it's almost 10 years ago and
01:21
then since then I've been working on Davokat for a while now and finally I created a company if you want some kind of support you can now buy it so what is Davokat? It's mainly an IMAP server. There's also some other stuff like
01:44
PUB3 and ManageSieve in general and actually well Davokat 2.0 is really really flexible so if you are thinking about creating some kind of server
02:01
which requires authentication it's possible to just create a plugin or some kind of external package so this IMAP adapter is basically just another
02:28
mail storage backend except it's an it works as an IMAP client remote IMAP server so you can do a lot of stuff using that and all of my prototype
02:42
stuff is I'm demoing through Davokat's IMAP adapter stuff which goes to Gmail okay so first thing is this yeah you can you can for
03:02
example I mean yeah Davokat is, Davokat has a lot of email code if you want like sure it's an IMAP server, email server but because it has a lot of email parsing stuff and so on you can just as well use it to build an email client if you want to and I developed this in only a couple of hours this
03:25
it's a pretty stupid I'm a pretty stupid email client I was kind of I remember this MH mail client a long time ago so I kind of took some of its
03:42
commands and made the script use them so for example well yeah nice thing about this is that Davokat has all these different functions so you so it's
04:01
really simple to do stuff like converting emails from whatever character set format to UTF-8 and yeah this is completely a shell script and our ADM tool there's some UTF-8 if you don't put the UTF-8 then it comes in
04:28
whatever original format it was so pretty simple things so hope maybe like a lot of it doesn't seem like a lot of people are interested in writing
04:43
email servers but maybe someone might be interested in using Davokat's code to build an email client or something so it would be nice to get more developers ok so there's a bunch of things that Davokat offers for email client
05:02
developers indexing caching with caching it means like there's not there's in IMAP like IMAP clients already can ask from Davokat to like give me this and this and this header so to make it efficient Davokat uses these
05:25
cache files and puts those headers that the client is interested about to those cache files so basically you can do the same thing automatically with if you develop an email client with Davokat's and full text search index is
05:41
IMAP has really great search queries you can use them as well and other stuff okay another prototype was this my friend really wanted to write an email client but he didn't want to he didn't want to learn IMAP protocol so
06:00
I kind of yeah I'll just build some I don't know some stupid protocol that you can use so that you can get emails with as an email as XML and he was really happy about this so if you are interested in writing an IMAP protocol replacement you can really easily do this with Davokat I actually just
06:24
took the Davokat's pop3 code and then just kind of hacked these commands so that all the error messages are actually coming as pop3 errors but anyway so yeah this is pretty normal XML and a third thing is this you can
06:44
use the Davokat's IMAP adapter stuff in a way that it allows passing the mails through some kind of a filter and filter is some kind of script and with the script you can do pretty much anything you want so I
07:03
built this prototype that takes a PGP encrypted mail and then decrypts it and shows it really simple script 25 lines okay so we have five minutes of
07:22
demoing time hopefully okay so this is the DMH kind of email client pretty stupid email client but anyway so this should fetch some emails from my Gmail
07:45
account no DMH of course it's not working it's in the wrong network it
08:06
doesn't have a very good error recovery okay let's see maybe some no yeah you have sent some emails to me okay and see that this you tell you
08:21
def8 works just fine so and then it gets the first email second a little bit slow because well it seems like well Gmail is a little bit slow at
08:41
least to connect from here oh thanks okay some HTML well yeah there's no HTML parsing in Davokat okay apparently there's some Unicode message
09:07
somewhere okay so what else the next demo okay well let's try the
09:27
XML I'm actually I was supposed to use this maybe if it shows up better oh actually I'll show the Davokat wasn't even running when I was using the
09:42
DMH client it it's using this kind of a configuration file there's like yes the where it connects and well as SSL stuff and some other stuff what
10:01
was I doing right the XML IMAP stuff oh actually I have to yeah not a very good error recovery okay so yeah it says you have eight messages and then
10:30
I can get some kind of headers of them and pretty normal XML stuff
10:44
fetching a buddy and it's there okay and yeah it kind of supports pretty much the same as I'm an idol that push mail if someone right now sent me an email then it should at least I really sent this XML thing here about
11:08
the new mail okay and final demo about about the PGP thing first this shows
11:31
that yeah okay there's this PGP encrypted email and this is how it normally shows up but if I enable where do I enable it here I think okay
11:56
mail filter plug-in enabled and now if I do the same thing it should decrypt it
12:12
so the yeah so it's right the nice thing about like if you you can you
12:25
could for example use this if you wanted to like support PGP in some kind of email client that doesn't natively support PGP and you don't really trust your email server to actually decrypt the mail so you can use
12:43
this kind of I'm a adapter in the middle like maybe put it in your home computer or something and that thing your home computer hopefully has secure is secure enough to trust your PGP keys and well that's pretty much it
13:08
you
