b3 of the multi-provider email roadmap. Adds ImapConnection model + table
(reconciler pattern, SQLite+MySQL), ImapService (MailKit-backed IMAP client),
ImapProvider implementing the existing IEmailProvider contract unchanged,
and ImapController for credential-based connect (no OAuth — user supplies
host/username/password directly, verified by a live connect before storage).
Scope, documented inline with ponytail: comments:
- INBOX only, no multi-folder support.
- Thread grouping approximates the References/In-Reply-To chain root rather
than the IMAP THREAD extension, which not every server implements.
- External message ids are IMAP UIDs, scoped to the connection's current
UIDVALIDITY.
Security: ran the security-audit skill against this diff (credential
handling + arbitrary-host connect is exactly the class of change the
standing security gate exists for). Found and fixed a real SSRF: the
connect endpoint let an authenticated user point the server at an
arbitrary host:port with no internal-range check, and connect-vs-auth
failure was distinguishable to the caller -- together a working oracle to
fingerprint internal services (loopback/RFC1918/link-local/cloud metadata)
from the server's network position. Fixed with EnsureHostIsExternalAsync
(DNS-resolve + reject internal ranges, re-checked on every reconnect to
close the DNS-rebinding gap) and a single generic failure message that no
longer distinguishes connect vs auth failure. 7 regression tests added.
Dependency: MailKit 4.17.0 (MIT license) on JobTrackerBackend.csproj --
stdlib has no IMAP client; hand-rolling IMAP4rev1 (TLS, SASL, MIME parsing)
would be a large, security-sensitive protocol implementation nobody asked
for, so this is the correct dependency, not a stdlib substitute.
168/168 green (161 existing + 7 new SSRF regression tests; the earlier
14 IMAP feature tests are included in the 161).
