What is this actually doing? I.e. are the emails being edited on the server or is the extension storing a set of edits and applying them when you view the edited emails in Gmail in Chrome? Are the original emails still accessible? How?

OP, please deliver. It is super important to me that the original emails are preserved somewhere. Is this so?

  Not OP, but to answer your question - yes, the original emails are preserved. More info: https://trysignal.com/using-signal/ https://trysignal.com/using-signal/

    So this implies that the emails would look unedited when accessed over IMAP?

      Yes, the edits are only going to be visible on chrome for now but we are slowing progressing towards mobile.

We are storing the changes you make to an email and then loading those changes back in when you view that email. The original email is never deleted, you can always click the "Restore" button get back to the original.

  Storing them where?
  - gsundeep 13y ago
    We're currently using Firebase as our datastore.

      Why not use a local datastore on the user's browser, like IndexedDB? I see no reason at all to install this and send my data to your external datastore when the same can be accomplished locally.
