This page is not comprehensive. Right now, think of it as a place where we put answers to questions that are asked when they are asked. If you know the answer to a question, or think you know, please just update this page! Just put who is answering the question and when they are answering it in parens. If you know there is a bug filed on implementing something, or even a WONTFIX bug, please update the page! Thanks!
ActiveSync
- Mail Sync Process
- Push notifications per the ActiveSync spec (as opposed to the FxOS push notification support): NO. We want to support it, but be aware that on cellular networks we are unlikely to be able to reliably maintain the persistent connection. (asuth, 2013/05/15).
IMAP
- Connection Security
- STARTTLS: NO, although we want to support it. bug 784816 is the platform bug which must be resolved, bug 847032 is the e-mail bug. (asuth, 2013/05/15)
- Mail Sync Process
- IDLE-based push notifications: NO. We do use IDLE, but only as a means of keeping the connection alive. We want to support properly handling IDLE events. (asuth, 2013/05/15).
Security
- Connection Security
- Self-signed certificates: NO, unless the certificate is explicitly trusted by gecko or has had an exception created some other way (such as via the web browser). If we fix it, it would be in the system app to allow you to add a certificate or an exception, but we don't want to make it easy to do. (asuth, 2013/05/15).
