Re: [libreoffice-users] Thunderbird potential as the official/default email-client for LO? Re: [board-discuss] BoD decision from 2015-10-05

Each e-mail address has its own "STATUS" file.
"STATUS" file e-mails are not deletable from the POP mail server unless 
specifically commanded to delete them within Thunderbird via a separate 
command
         or when all "STATUS" files are duplicated based on time stamp.
"STATUS" files are based on changes and store individual e-mails and/or 
their marking (New, Deleted, Un-read)
The frequency of generating time stamped "STATUS" files is based on file 
size of STATUS file.
"STATUS" file e-mail may only be transmitted with PGP or some form of 
encryption.
"STATUS" files are created chronologically, each access adds to the 
stack to be sent between Thunderbird 1, 2, 3...N
The checking of "STATUS" file happens within Thunderbird


Thunderbird 1<---> POP mail server <--> Thunderbird 2

Thunderbird 1 receives e-mail < -- POP mail server

Thunderbird 1 creates "STATUS" file based on changes (New, Deleted, Un-read)

Thunderbird 1 sends "STATUS" file via e-mail in PGP encrypted file ---> 
POP mail server

POP mail server --> Thunderbird 2 receives e-mail including PGP 
encrypted "STATUS" file

Thunderbird 2 says "You have received a "STATUS", Processing "STATUS" 
file now.

Thunderbird 3 added and receives "STATUS" file e-mail < -- POP mail server

Thunderbird 3says "You have received a "STATUS", Processing "STATUS" 
file now.

Thunderbird 3 sends "STATUS" file via e-mail in PGP encrypted file ---> 
POP mail server


I didn't say it was easy, but it is possible.
Think of it as a very unique and fancy Message filter.
