* Are we enabling a "phishable" behavior by encouraging users to provide credentials to a third party site? | |||
** Are there ways that we can provide this sort of service without asking for user primary credentials? | |||
* There are limits to the number of outbound socket port connections per machine. Can we do rapid polling on servers to reduce our machine cost? | |||
** Will we need to be whitelisted by major IMAP providers since we may be hitting their machines thousands of times per second from a small number of IPs? | |||
** Some email providers (e.g. Yahoo) only allow third party IMAP/POP access for pay only accounts. There may not be a lot of incentive for them to increase service costs to handle this feature. | |||
