Ok. I have already explained this in my reply to Andreas. But I will
complete the answer.
What I want is simply to bypass the privacy violation inherent in the
SMTP protocol.
Ideally, I want to use Claws Mail for my emails, not webmail. I don't
want to be using a browser, at all.
Using the webmail would only be a workaround to be used for sending
emails more securely. For all the rest, I would use Claws Mail as normal.
If the procedure that I sketched in my reply to Andreas is found to be
feasible, and implemented, the whole problem will be solved: the user
would still be using Claws Mail, 100% as usual, because the dirty work
(via the webmail) would be done by Claws Mail in the background, so we
don't even notice.
