Isn't "encrypted mail" an oxymoron ?
- bayindirh 6y agoWhy? Can you elaborate?
- christophilus 6y agoNo.
- 0x008 6y agoI think they usually talk about the cloud storage not the emails itself.
- coldtea 6y agoThe mails can very well be E2E encrypted, if we talk about the contents, not the SMTP metadata, headers, etc.
- admash 6y agoMail is transferred using SMTP, which may or may not be encrypted via TLS or similar. What protonmail et al. are likely referring to is the zero-knowledge encrypted storage and retrieval of received mail on their servers by their customers.
