I wasnt trying to suggest that you or anyone do this work. Sorry if it came across like that. I was mearly trying to get your technical opinion on such an email app, since you had already done the gmail extention.
One of the painpoints I see with PGP on the desktop is getting everything installed and configured is probably too much for the average user. What struck me when I saw imap client implemtation in js, is that one could take this and bundle it with openpgp.js into a simple to use preconfiged email app. The point with the seperate namespace is interesting though.
