KMail
KMail is the email component of Kontact, the integrated personal information manager from KDE. Default settings rather compromise on features than security or privacy. End-to-end Encryption. Support for OpenPGP and S/MIME is built-in, and a setup and key generation wizard aids users in getting started with this. Transport encryption, SSL/TLS encrypted communication is of course supported, as are a number of authentication methods such as GSSAPI (Kerberos) or OAuth2. Strong isolation of HTML content. If HTML emails can’t be avoided, KMail ensures no external references can be hidden in there to leak information or compromise your privacy. Additionally KMail’s phising protections warns about suspicious links in such emails. Spam protection, so if your email server doesn’t take care of this already, KMail can integrate popular spam checkers such as SpamAssassin or Bogofilter locally.

Ciphermail Appliance
Email encryption with CipherMail Most emails are sent in plain text. This means that anyone who has access to the data stream can read the content of the emails. This is unacceptable for most companies, institutions and organizations and may also violate applicable law. E-mail encryption ensures security and trust in communication. CipherMail is a central mail transfer agent (MTA) that works on the “store and forward” principle. Incoming e-mails, regardless of whether they are from internal or external sources, are only saved until they have been encrypted / decrypted and can be forwarded to the recipient. This happens without changing the email client and is possible in combination with any SMTP server! E-mail encryption can be done using S / MIME, PGP or in a PDF file - in principle or triggered by a trigger in the subject line. CipherMail also includes a Data Leak Prevention (DLP) module.
