Hi readers,

Tonight I was looking for a secure email service. Not a basic mail provider which offer SSL (IMAP/POP/SMTP) connexions, but also that every email and attached file is store in a secure way. I have found the following website :

• PKI is hiden through the website. So you can only send and read the email body using the website
• sendinc service. It seems that you can only send email through the website. It is free and ,restricted to send 20 emails a day
• thruinc
• zsentry and zmail The free version is restrict to send 5 email (no limit about receiving)
• opolis runs only on Windows and MacOS.You need to install a software. It is free to use today.
• s-mail service, no software to install.
• husmail is not so good according to the wikipedia article
• a short list of various secure email solutions
• These ones provide PGP / GPG/ PKI like facilities:
• safe-mail, a free account gives you 3MB of mailbox, with a sign certificate,
• comodo secure email free for personnal use, installs a software, runs only under Windows. It seems to be a PGP / GPG kind of solution, but easier to set up and to use for the mass.

And some reason about using such services:

• using secure mail service is easier for the mass than using GPG / PGP

You can also add a GPG proxy on your local windows PC:
GPG Relay for windows

Hi foxes!

I'm using Mulberry 4.0.8 for a week now, and it is pretty good. I spent quite a long time before using the Agenda feature with google calendar feature and a horde calendar too.

So here are the configuration to apply.

Google Calendar is a CalDAV

Go to the Mulberry google calendar wiki page.

Horde Calendar is a WebDAV

Assumptions

A horde Account mul.berry@myhordeserver.com

HOWTO

In the Accounts preferences

• Create a new WebDAV account called Horde Calendar
• Server: www.myhordeserver.com

Accounts -> Authenticate

• Method: Plain Text
• User: mul.berry@myhordeserver.com
• Secure: SSLv3

Accounts -> Options

• Path: /horde/rpc.php/kronolith/mul.berry@myhordeserver.com

Additionnal inforamtions about configuration Horde with external tools

horde wiki is very good.

It exists some interesting plugins if you want to use your own calendar application with google calendar. Have look at gcaldaemon.

configure GPG

Mulberry 4.0.8 supports GPG. (older version)

configure LDAP

Go here
