1a- Is the Sync Kolab IMAP link to the IMAP server encrypted at all? Does the IMAP settings overall affect this security? Is there a level of PGP that might exist between Client and the IMAP server of this IMAP Sync Kolab data of Calander and Contact data?
How much protection is there for this data going from Client to IMAP server (and visa versa) during synch?
1b- With this Sync Kolab IMAP Calander and contact data once on IMAP server..., then can the data once on the IMAP server be viewable by admin at the IMAP server?
How much protection is there once the data is on the server?
2 - When there is a security update for Thunderbird gets pushed by a distro out to users of Thunderbird, then does this affect the plugins that are added at all, ex: a configured Sync Kolab configuration (where you have to go in an rebuild the Plugin to work again for every LTSP user that is using the LTSP server)?
If SynchKolab plugin could by allow for optional encrypted storage of contacts and calander data, PGP for example, then an ISP that hosts IMAP services for email, would be a wonderful workgroup server! Right now, you since you can't participate in hiring practices at the IMAP capable ISP, you just are putting it up there in faith alone!
The only addtion to the Synch Kolab plug-in would be the storage in a group server kind of way of FireFox or Mozilla "SCUTTLE" group bookmarks as was described in a previous NewsForge article: http://internet.newsforge.com/internet/06/03/29/19 52239.shtml?tid=13 [newsforge.com]
Now that would be cool, and of course have them storable up on the server protected from admin peekers with some encryption that only the "users" systems are set up to read.
