Another thing is that e2ee breaks a number of useful features of e-mail:
- The ability to painlessly access your mail from a number of different clients, ranging from fully-featured desktop clients to smartphone apps to webmail.
- Server-side filtering (both spam and in general)
- Server-side searching (mandatory for webmail and depending on how big your mail archive is, still rather useful for smartphones, too)
- upofadown 6y ago>Server-side searching Pretty sure that is what the unencrypted "Subject:" is for... :) There is now a way to encrypt the subject but it is turning out to be a controversial thing to do. Perhaps that is at least partially the reason.
