+
+Welcome to leap.mail's documentation!
+=====================================
+
+This is the documentation for the ``leap.imap`` module. It is a twisted package
+that exposes two services, ``smtp`` and ``imap``, that run local proxies and interact
+with a remote ``LEAP`` provider that offers *a soledad syncronization endpoint*
+and receive the outgoing email.
+
+See :ref:`the life cycle of a leap email <mail_journey>` for an overview of the life cycle
+of an email through ``LEAP`` providers.
+
+``Soledad`` stores its documents as local ``sqlcipher`` tables, and syncs
+against the soledad sync service in the provider.
+
+
+.. 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.
+
+In the coming releases we are going to be working towards the goal of exposing
+a protocol-agnostic email public API, so that third party mail clients can
+manipulate the data layer without having to resort to handling the sql tables or
+doing direct u1db calls. The code will be transitioning towards a LEAPMail
+public API that we can stabilize as soon as possible, and leaving the IMAP
+server as another code entity that uses this lower layer.

+
+The life cycle of a LEAP Email
+==============================
+The following are just some notes to facilitate the understanding of the
+leap.mail internals to developers and collaborators.
+
+Server-side: receiving mail from the outside world
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+1. the mx server receives an email, it gets through all the postfix validation and it's written into disk
+2. ``leap_mx`` gets that write in disk notification and encrypts the incoming mail to its intended recipient's pubkey
+3. that encrypted blob gets written into couchdb in a way soledad will catch it in the next sync
+
+
+Client-side: fetching and processing incoming email
+---------------------------------------------------
+you have an imap and an smtp local server. For IMAP:
+
+1. soledad syncs
+2. **fetch** module sees if there's new encrypted mail for the current user from leap_mx
+3. if there is, the mail is decrypted using the user private key, and splitted
+   into several parts according to the internal mail data model (separating
+   mutable and inmutable email parts). Those documents it encrypts it properly
+   like other soledad documents and deletes the pubkey encrypted doc
+4. desktop client is notified that there are N new mails 
+5. when a MUA connects to the **imap** local server, the different documents are glued
+   together and presented as response to the different imap commands.
+
+
+Client side: sending email
+--------------------------
+
+1. you write an email to a recipient and hit send
+2. the **smtp** local server gets that mail, it checks from whom it is and to whom it is for
+3. it signs the mail with the ``From:``'s privkey
+4. it retrieves ``To:``'s pubkey with the keymanager and if it finds it encrypts the mail to him/her
+5. if it didn't find it and you don't have your client configured to "always encrypt", it goes out with just the signature
+6. else, it fails out complaining about this conflict
+7. that mail gets relayed to the provider's **smtp** server
