What's the problem with Apple mail?
- cosmojg 6y agoNot OP, but my guess is they don't like it because it's opaque and the developer's incentives are drifting with Apple's move to services. Oh, and they probably don't like the fact that Apple still actively collaborates with the NSA. Open source software makes it easy to sidestep these kinds of issues.
- einpoklum 6y agoNo problem if you're already have: Cc: spy_on_me@nsa.gov on all your emails. Actually, that's not good enough, since your correspondents need to have that too; plus, Apple probably monitors your interactions with the webmail interface too and that can be scrutinized to learn more about you.
