Email bridge

The bridge connects to a standard IMAP account and retrieves emails, encrypts them, and stores them in your peergos space.

It also looks for new outgoing email files in Peergos and sends them as emails via SMTP.

Implementation Notes

• Polling is used to periodically retrieve/send emails.

• The dependencies in /lib are Peergos.jar and Simple Java Mail - https://www.simplejavamail.org/
