Update: If you just want to run it, download the binary package.
You do not have to do any of this!

This is a tested procedure to make a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04
run Confidant Mail. This assumes you have downloaded confmail-src.zip
You verify the source package using the detached signature and GPG key.
Unfortunately there is no package of wxPython-3.0.2.0 so here is how
to compile it. You also have to replace some of the Python modules to
make TLS 1.2 work.

Download wxPython-src-3.0.2.0.tar.bz2 from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/3.0.2.0/wxPython-src-3.0.2.0.tar.bz2/download

apt-get install gcc g++ python-dev
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
tar xpjf wxPython-src-3.0.2.0.tar.bz2
cd wxPython-src-3.0.2.0/wxPython
vi ../build/tools/build-wxwidgets.py
    remove lines: --with-opengl (line 271) and --enable-mediactrl (line 274)
    use a different editor such as nano if you prefer
python build-wxpython.py '--extra_setup=BUILD_GLCANVAS=0' --install
apt-get remove python-openssl
apt-get remove python-crypto
apt-get install python-pip python-cffi libssl-dev
pip install pyopenssl
pip install cryptography
pip install service_identity
pip install twisted
pip install pyenchant

[Startup script for Confidant Mail]
#!/bin/bash
cd [directory you unzipped confmail-src.zip into]
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
exec python config_chooser.py
