<p>Dear Kyle,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the detailed proposal. We had an internal discussion
about it and agreed that email approval is a valuable feature, but
we have decided not to include it in the midPoint core.<br>
<br>
This decision is backed by our effort to minimize security risks
and keep the core engine lean. Adding mailbox monitoring would
introduce external dependencies and increase the attack surface.<br>
<br>
You could still develop the feature as a standalone application
that monitors the mailbox and interacts with midPoint via the REST
API. This modular approach is more secure and the deployment with
modern containerized environments (Docker/K8s) is straightforward.<br>
<br>
If you move forward with this as an independent project, we would
be happy to list it on our <a href="https://docs.evolveum.com/community/related-projects/" target="_blank">Community
Related Projects</a> page to give it visibility.<br>
<br>
Best regards,</p>

<div>Dear MidPoint team,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I am interested in implementing an email approval feature
as my individual contribution to the project. Would you please
provide some insight on whether this suggestion would be
accepted as a core feature? The implementation, from my
understanding, involves the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>A sample message template that crafts the email approval
content.</li>
<li>A new task type for enabling and scheduling the mailbox
processing.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div> I can contribute to the design and development of this
feature for the next six months. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> You may refer to the following for a high-level
illustration on the proposal. Thank you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Do let me know if you have any questions.</div>
