Today, mobile phones are super powerful, always-on and almost always connected. We should be able to run mail completely on the mobile device? There could be blind relay mailboxes in between to help store/forward the mails until they are retrieved by mobile phone app.. and of course there's end to end encryption with no metadata leakage in the relay.
Possible? Already exists - app? relay?
- silversconfused 7y agoThis is how email was intended to work, but anti spam measures now prevent "any normal user's device" from originating a message. To deliver a message you would need to find a trusted relay to add legitimacy flags to the message, or you need a trusting recipient with a friendly network path between you so a plain message would not be blocked.
- vinay_ys 7y agoI know how email works. Have run very large deployments. I'm asking if such a 1-person completely decentralized convenient deployment solution exists? If not, why not?
