RMS: A Replicable Mail Store and Retrieval System
RMS is a new replicable mail store and retrieval system which is designed for use in a nomadic setting. It supports a number of unique features:
- unlimited replication of the mail store's contents,
- disconnected operation on individual replicas,
- fully automatic merging of replicas,
- per-message access capabilities for untrusted external readers,
- access to messages based on sets of message attributes --- no hierarchical structure imposed.
We have designed and implemented a single-user prototype of RMS, however, the approach scales to a collaborative setting where many individuals share a distributed common mail store.
