Not really. Yes that has to work but... What I want to read up on 
and test is encrypted (secure) communications between the (2) major
cell phone types and whatever client on a gentoo workstation. The 
goal is good security, that is reasonable to setup and manage
and allows folks to use any of those 3 devices to exchange encrypted mail.
Suppose I had a friend that has an ios phone. What page do I send him to
to encrypt his emails? What will work with thunderbird, sylpheed, etc.
Some discussion, url links that I can refer others to and then
recommendations.

What I want to do is find documents that at least provide an overview
of which specific apps to put on a cell phone (android or ios) some
example configs and then a few docs on the gentoo side.

Free or do you buys those apps from a vendor on the cell phones?
Which ones are better, i.e. more trusted or have different algos
for encryptions (bit-lenght etc). May, I just need to find
a forum where this is routinely discuss to see what's new, what's
not secure, what may be prohibited by whom, etc etc.


OK?
