Would I not accept an automatic mail configuration protocol that does not configure S/MIME or PGP? No. Would I not try really, really hard to create an automatic mail configuration protocol that does configure S/MIME or PGP? ***ABSOLUTELY*** In 2016, it would be criminal to not provide a solution for the 99.995% of users who cannot spell PGP or S/MIME. I agree with PHB’s sentiment here: we have to try, and we have to try really hard, to make the security configuration a major purpose for the effort. For that matter, one can argue that without security configuration, the market has passed us by. My current experience is with MacOS. If you use Gmail, iCloud mail, Yahoo! mail, AOL, or Exchange, your mail configuration magically happens. If you are using a raw IMAP or POP3 server, more especially if you are using a real submit server at a different address, too bad for you. However, I’ll bet 99.995% of typical users are using one of the big providers and would ask “why is the IETF working on how to configure Gmail? It just works already. The IETF is solving yesterday’s problems.” If we say, “because you get security,” 99;995% of people would say, “the IETF is great!” > On Feb 9, 2016, at 3:32 AM, Arnt Gulbrandsen <arnt@gulbrandsen.priv.no> wrote: > > Phillip Hallam-Baker writes: >> And you don't have an email app configuration solution unless you can >> configure S/MIME and OpenPGP. > > Wait, what?
