bmd is collection of Bitmessage tools inspired by btcsuite.

bmd extensively shares code and design philosophy with btcd.

bmd is the network daemon (the equivalent of btcd) which connects to the P2P network, relays and stores messages, and contains no private keys or user-specific metadata.

bmclient is the user daemon (the equivalent of btcwallet) which stores a user's private keys, messages, and metadata. bmclient obtains incoming messages from, and routes outgoing messages through, a trusted instance of bmd.

Users interact with bmclient via standard mail clients rather than a dedicated GUI.

bmclient includes functionality similar to bmwrapper except that it uses the IMAP protocol rather than POP3.
