---

## Core Features

### 1. Multi-Tenant Safety

All endpoints enforce strict tenant isolation:
- Every account is associated with `tenantId` and `userId`
- All queries automatically filter by tenant/user
- Access to accounts from other tenants returns 403 Forbidden
- No account can be accessed, modified, or deleted by unauthorized users

**Example**:
```python
# Tenant 1 creates account
POST /api/accounts with X-Tenant-ID: tenant-1
# Returns account with id: "abc-123"

# Tenant 2 tries to access same account
GET /api/accounts/abc-123 with X-Tenant-ID: tenant-2
# Returns: 403 Forbidden
```

### 2. Request Validation

Comprehensive validation on all endpoints:

**Email Validation**:
- Must contain `@` symbol
- Validated on create and update

**Port Validation**:
- Integer between 1 and 65535
- Validated on create and update

**Protocol Validation**:
- Accepted: `imap`, `pop3`
- Case-insensitive
- Defaults to `imap`

**Encryption Validation**:
- Accepted: `tls`, `starttls`, `none`
- Case-insensitive
- Defaults to `tls`

**Sync Interval Validation**:
- Integer between 60 and 3600 seconds
- Defaults to 300 (5 minutes)
- Prevents overly frequent or too-infrequent sync

### 3. Authentication & Authorization

**Authentication**:
- Headers: `X-Tenant-ID` and `X-User-ID` (POST/PUT/DELETE)
- Query params: `tenant_id` and `user_id` (GET)
- Missing headers/params return 401 Unauthorized

**Authorization**:
- Owner must match account's tenant and user
- Different owner returns 403 Forbidden
- Checked on all GET, PUT, DELETE operations

### 4. Error Handling

Consistent error response format:

```json
{
  "error": "Error type",
  "message": "Detailed error message"
}
```

**Error Types**:
- `Bad request` (400): Invalid input data
- `Unauthorized` (401): Missing or invalid auth
- `Forbidden` (403): Access denied
- `Not found` (404): Resource doesn't exist
- `Internal server error` (500): Server-side error

**Logging**:
- All errors logged with context
- Connection tests provide detailed failure reasons
- Useful for debugging client issues

### 5. Data Structures

**Account Object**:
```typescript
{
  id: string                    // UUID
  tenantId: string              // Multi-tenant identifier
  userId: string                // Owner identifier
  accountName: string           // Display name (e.g., "Work Email")
  emailAddress: string          // Email address (user@company.com)
  protocol: "imap" | "pop3"     // Email protocol
  hostname: string              // IMAP/POP3 hostname
  port: number                  // Server port (1-65535)
  encryption: "tls" | "starttls" | "none"  // Connection encryption
  username: string              // Login username
  credentialId: string          // Reference to encrypted credentials
  isSyncEnabled: boolean        // Whether sync is active
  syncInterval: number          // Sync interval in seconds (60-3600)
  lastSyncAt: number | null     // Last sync timestamp (milliseconds)
  isSyncing: boolean            // Currently syncing
  isEnabled: boolean            // Account active/inactive
  createdAt: number             // Creation timestamp (milliseconds)
  updatedAt: number             // Last update timestamp (milliseconds)
}
```

## Implementation Details

### Validation Helpers

**`validate_account_creation()`**:
- Validates all required fields present and non-null
- Checks data types and format
- Returns `(is_valid, error_message)` tuple

**`validate_account_update()`**:
- Validates only provided fields
- Allows partial updates
- Returns `(is_valid, error_message)` tuple

**`authenticate_request()`**:
- Extracts tenant/user from headers or query params
- Handles both GET and POST/PUT/DELETE patterns
- Returns `(tenant_id, user_id, error_response)` tuple

**`check_account_ownership()`**:
- Verifies account belongs to authenticated user
- Returns error response tuple if check fails

### Database Storage

Current implementation uses in-memory dictionary:
```python
email_accounts: Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]] = {}
```

**For Production**:
Replace with DBAL query:
```python
account = await db.email_accounts.get(
    filter={
        'id': account_id,
        'tenantId': tenant_id,
        'userId': user_id
    }
)
```

## Security Considerations

### 1. Credential Management

**Current**: Password passed in request body (test endpoint)
**Recommendation**:
- Use credentialId to reference encrypted stored credentials
- Never pass passwords in request body in production
- Implement credential encryption/decryption in credential service

### 2. Soft Delete

**Current**: Hard delete (removes from database)
**Recommendation**:
```python
# Add isDeleted field
PUT /api/accounts/:id
{
  "isDeleted": true
}

# Filter in queries
filter={
  'id': account_id,
  'tenantId': tenant_id,
  'userId': user_id,
  'isDeleted': False
}
```

### 3. Rate Limiting

**Recommendation**: Add rate limiting to prevent abuse
```python
from flask_limiter import Limiter
from flask_limiter.util import get_remote_address

limiter = Limiter(
    app,
    key_func=get_remote_address
)

@accounts_bp.route('', methods=['POST'])
@limiter.limit("10 per hour")  # Create max 10 accounts/hour
def create_account():
    ...
```

### 4. Audit Logging

**Recommendation**: Log all account modifications
```python
logger.info(f'Created email account {account_id} for tenant {tenant_id}, user {user_id}')
logger.info(f'Updated email account {account_id} for tenant {tenant_id}')
logger.info(f'Deleted email account {account_id} for tenant {tenant_id}')
```

## Integration with Other Components

### DBAL Integration

Replace in-memory storage:
```python
from src.db import db

async def create_account(tenant_id, user_id, data):
    return await db.email_accounts.create(
        data={
            'tenantId': tenant_id,
            'userId': user_id,
            **data
        }
    )
```

### Credential Service Integration

For testing connection:
```python
from src.services.credential_service import CredentialService

credential_service = CredentialService()
password = credential_service.decrypt(credentialId)

sync_manager = IMAPSyncManager(
    hostname=account['hostname'],
    port=account['port'],
    username=account['username'],
    password=password,
    encryption=account['encryption']
)
```

### Workflow Engine Integration

Trigger sync workflows after account creation:
```python
from src.workflow.executor import WorkflowExecutor

executor = WorkflowExecutor()
executor.execute('imap-sync', {
    'accountId': account_id,
    'tenantId': tenant_id
})
```
