mail-html5

Whiteout Mail is a mail client with full IMAP, SMTP, TLS and OpenPGP support written in pure JavaScript. The Client is distributed as a Chrome Packaged App since it requires TCP sockets. Download the official version under whiteout.io.

Security

• The app is deployed as an auditable packaged app with static versions in order to prevent problems with host-based security.
• Content Securit Policy (CSP) is enforced to prevent against injection attacks.
• The code is still under heavy development and is yet not recommended for production use. That being said, we have done multiple code audits and penetration tests (which will be published as soon as all reported vulnerabilities are fixed).

Reporting bugs and feature requests

• We will launch a bug bounty program later on the compensate security researchers. If you find any security vulnerabilites, don't hesitate to contact us security@whiteout.io.
• You can also just create an issue if you're missing a feature or just want to give us feedback.

Testing

You can download a prebuilt bundle under releases or build your own:

npm install && grunt

This builds the Chrome Packaged App bundle DEV.zip which can be installed under chrome://extensions in developer mode.

To run the unit tests locally run:

npm test
