> Email is missing encryption. Email is generally encrypted with TLS today. The Google Safer Email initiative's transparency page shows that 86% of emails sent from Gmail to other providers are encrypted, and 78% of messages coming into them are encrypted. https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/ https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/ Google has done a lot of good work driving encryption support in the industry through their efforts on Gmail with the Safer Email initiative. If you are communicating with a party that you can coordinate with, then you can arrange for encryption by ensuring that both of your servers support it. Communication from mail servers to mail user agents is also commonly encrypted. The percentages above should be understood to reflect a random sample of which senders/receivers already support encryption out-of-the-box, i.e. most of them. > Email is missing anonymity. This is generally undesirable in the email space because it cannot be reconciled with the need to prevent abuse (spam, malware, phishing). Having a strong sender identity is desirable so that there is accountability.
