The ~EasyGpg components:
* email client (e.g. Kontact Mail, Thunderbird with Enigmail)
* GnuPG backend
* email service provider
* central fallback server
* classic certificate ("key") server



== How an EasyGpg based email client should work?
User A wants to send a signed/encrypted email to user B. A has only the email address of B. A's email client gets the OpenPGP (public) certificate from B's email service provider (step 1+2) which is used to encrypt the email to B.
