shouldn't compaction be interactive with the user as to what context will continue to be the most relevant in the future??? what if the harness allowed for a turn to clarify the user's expected future direction of the conversation and did the consolidation based upon the addition info?

there definitely seems to be a benefit to pruning the context and keeping the signal to noise high wrt what is still to be discussed.

you are assuming i have users and this is a mail server not a website which has a very different access pattern more analogous to ssh where TOFU works beautifully.

for the use case of a single user IMAP server this is all way, way, too complicated and buys you nothing in terms of security. it's completely analogous to why we dont use CAs to validate openssh host certificates.

bad summary. it prompted you to accept the certificate upon first use and then pinned it which is far different than what you are describing in terms of security implications.

i saw a video on youtube where a guy intercepted https app traffic from an android app for a smart scale where the app used certificate pinning. there was some very automated tool for defeating the cert pinning. unfortunately i can't find the video link.

how are you renewing the LE certificate if the domain is resolving to an internal ip? this seems like a big hoop to jump through.

per apple dev forums it seems like they have a history of breaking this and then fixing it. additionally, while IMAP is broken, calendars and notes seem to work just fine so hopefully it's not deliberate.

explain how a pinned self signed cert is insecure. i don't see it. it would seem to be more secure than one signed by a public CA that's not pinned.

unfortunately none of that applies to my setup. my imap server lives in a dmz and doesn't have all that other jazz.

i'm just using a hardcoded private ip to connect to the imap server. are you saying i can get a certificate with a hostname of "*" that will match ANY ip address?

I'm using a private ip over a vpn so I don't think that workaround will work for me. I don't really want a public dns record.

:-(

hey lurking apple devs- can someone please escalate this?
