-=========
-
-*decentralized and secure mail delivery and synchronization*
-
-This is the documentation for the ``leap.mail`` module. It is a `twisted`_
-package that allows to receive, process, send and access existing messages using
-the `LEAP`_ platform.
-
-One way to use this library is to let it launch two standard mail services,
-``smtp`` and ``imap``, that run as local proxies and interact with a remote
-``LEAP`` provider that offers *a soledad syncronization endpoint* and receives
-the outgoing email. This is what `Bitmask`_ client does.
-
-From the release 0.4.0 on, it's also possible to use a protocol-agnostic email
-public API, so that third party mail clients can manipulate the data layer. This
-is what the awesome MUA in the `Pixelated`_ project is using.

-
-How does this all work?
------------------------
-
-All the underlying data storage and sync is handled by a library called
-`soledad`_, which handles encryption, storage and sync. Based on `u1db`_,
-documents are stored locally as local ``sqlcipher`` tables, and syncs against
-the soledad sync service in the provider.
-
-OpenPGP key generation and keyring management are handled by another leap
-python library: `keymanager`_.
-
-See :ref:`the life cycle of a leap email <mail_journey>` for an overview of the life cycle
-of an email through ``LEAP`` providers.

-Data model
-----------
-.. TODO clear document types documentation.
-
-The data model at the present moment consists of several *document types* that split email into
-different documents that are stored in ``Soledad``. The idea behind this is to
-keep clear the separation between *mutable* and *inmutable* parts, and still being able to
-reconstruct arbitrarily nested email structures easily.

-Of special interest is the `public mail api`_, which should remain relatively
-stable across the next few releases.
