While I agree, there is definitely movement and recent movement [0][1] , I just wish I had the knowledge to contribute. I am great and figuring out how things work, breaking them and understanding them. Building from scratch is a bit above my head, albeit I have a few ideas....

- swiley 9y agoWe already have standards for encrypting/authenticating email transfer between mail servers and between the server and user agent. This doesn't solve the problem of mail being encrypted in transit. As far as I can tell the server operator can still read the user's mail. What we need is end-to-end encryption, lack of support in MUAs (iphone mail app, thunderbird etc.) is the problem here, it has really nothing to do with the server.
- yorwba 9y ago> lack of support in MUAs (iphone mail app, thunderbird etc.) Thunderbird supports S/MIME out of the box and PGP through an addon, so I'm not sure what other kinds of end-to-end encryption you'd want to see. Not sure about the iPhone mail app.
