 # Discussion
-## Mailbox <-> Owner contact handling
-### Mailbox pairing without contact types
+## Connection Handling
+Separate connection handling and session handling. (Connection manager passes connections to sync/mailbox session handlers)
+### Use Transport properties for mailbox connections
 * [ ] Discussion
+  * Instead of using dedicated contacts, we use multiple entries in a contact's transport properties for a contact's
+    mailbox
 * [ ] Implementation
 * [ ] Tests

-### Handle owner mailbox without dedicated contact type
+### Update poller implementation
 * [ ] Discussion
+  * The poller will handle when connections to a mailbox are established. (If a contact can't be contacted otherwise)
+  * The poll functions of the plugins will get a receiver depending on the connection type (contact/mailbox connections)
 * [ ] Implementation
 * [ ] Tests

-## Introduction Protocol
-### Rework Introduction protocol to work without different contact types
-*NOTE: This might be too much overhead since we'll have to start from scratch anyway (see next)*
+### Update handling for incoming connections
 * [ ] Discussion
+  * We can only identify a connection's type (contact/mailbox/private mailbox) after we read the tag. Hence the connection manager should identify the connection's type and pass it to an appropriate handler

-### Update introduction protocol to use upcoming contact adding feature
+### Update Connection Registry to handle direct/mailbox connections separately
 * [ ] Discussion
-+ Does this compromise the previous assumption that the mailbox does not know the contact's identity?
-+ (aka. Does the mailbox connect to the contact or can this work with only contacts connecting to the mailbox?)
+  * Different handling for mailbox/direct connection is required. (Online status for contacts)
 * [ ] Implementation
 * [ ] Tests

+## Mailbox <-> Owner key agreement
+### Mailbox pairing without contact types
 * [ ] Discussion
+ * (Done) Key agreement protocol needs a version bump to differentiate between mailbox/contact key exchanges
+ * FIX: If we don't use contact types, we need some minor fixes here

-### Update poller implementation
+### Handle owner mailbox without dedicated contact type
 * [ ] Discussion
+  * The owner's mailbox is stored as a contact but needs special treatment as compared to other contacts:
+    * Use a unique contact Id (?)
+    * Mailbox must be ignored in contact lists
