Thanks for reading.
The objective is to have an app similar in design for both iPhone, iPad and Android (phone and tablet) that is a good quality email app similar to the styles and features listed below, that allows the user to encrypt the email when sending using AES256

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trtf.blue
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.protonmail.android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mail.emails https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail
The app will support setting up an account manually much like all email clients do.
It is important the app is written in a way to have exchangeable Libraries, in other words, reusable libraries as much as possible between the two so
a) they are easy to maintain and
b) simpler to develop
To simplify development I am hoping the following libraries can be used in the app whether with a wrapper or otherwise. Libraries are ready for Android and iOS
https://www.chilkatsoft.com/downloads.asp
Chilkat has libraries for all standard functions Sending and Receiving, POP/SMTP, IMAP, EMAIL, MIME, SSH, Encryption etc.
I will supply these libraries to you so it will not be necessary to write a large amount of code because it already exists and works and will save you a lot of time.
That said, if there are already B4x libraries that can be utilized then fine.
The app will incorporate all the usual features such as POP/SMTP, IMAP, EMAIL, MIME, SSH, Encryption etc etc as seen in the above examples. It must be a comprehensive and well flowing app.
I not believe this job is particularly complicated as ;
a) main work is on the UI / UX and that can be modeled after existing apps.
b) existing libraries will reduce vast amount of code normally required
Mainly you will need to write the UI / UX parts, and the interfacing to the libraries. Apparently K9 is open source, have seen it on Github, https://github.com/k9mail/k-9 perhaps that is useful in some way as a however the UI / UX is not all that great.
I am an IT professional with 40 years experience however little experience with B4x I'm afraid. I will be able to help and happy to as much as I can.
There are 3 Stages to this project
1) initial UI / UX part
2) building in the internals, the engine, using the Libraries and your coding
Stage 1 - should be done first for both the Android and iOS devices so I can send this off for user review. (Payment will be made at this stage)
Stage 2- while users are looking and testing the UI / UX, you can start on Stage 2 which is building the actual emailing part using the Libraries. Remember that I can provide most of what is needed internally through the Chilkat Libraries.
Your job is to build the functional app around this (if Chilkat is used), UI, UX, interfacing functionality, so hopefully it will not be a huge project because a lot of it is already existing (in libraries).
I was thinking around US$ 600 ?
I am happy to provide a document to confirm what is required after we speak and agree on the best approach to this. Look forward to your feedback.
Looking forward to feedback
thank you
