Check out TricepMail.com. I'm curious to see what HN thinks of it.

  It looks interesting, it goes the functionality checkboxes, but given the thread here the target audience is likey interested in privacy and security. Tricepmail seems to have little to no information about security, and the privacy policy is basically GDPR compliance (specifically: we'll tell you what we collect personal info for) with the option to sell the data to third parties. Additionally, the apps appear to be in beta-stage still. They're functional, but still pretty rough in appearance. You're going to be hard pressed to convince anyone here to switch to a service that retains the right to sell your data, doesn't reveal the country of administration, and is relatively new.

    Thanks for your feedback. I will touch on all your points. TricepMail is designed specifically for privacy, and not only privacy for your data on TricepMail’s servers but for preventing others from tracking and selling your information as well. The privacy policy specifically states that there is no collection of your personal information. TricepMail is based out of Colorado, US, but considering moving to another country which might be better for privacy. The UI is definitely very minimal, but that is on purpose by design. No need for a bunch of visual clutter when reading/sending email. Improvements can and will be made though, of course.

      Are you representing tricepmail? Because it kind of sounds like you are. And if you are, it's kinda shady to not disclose that in your initial post asking what people think of it...

      When Zuck says Facebook wasn't sharing our data with NSA/Prism, he has his company's and his own reputation on the line if he was lying... we don't know who you are and what this service is, so, sorry to say, but your 2nd paragraph doesn't mean much. I could promise you I'll send you a legit authentic fancy gold Rolex worth $20,000 if you transfer me $15,000, so you can re-sell it and make $5,000 in an instant. Would you believe me?

        FWIW, Zuck/Facebook and every other shady company who uses dark patterns and takes advantage of their users disgusts me. It's one of the primary reasons I started TricepMail.

  Services like email don't have a high barrier to entry and most customers don't have complex technical requirements, so much of choosing a provider is based on trust and instinct - rightly or wrongly. I remember a while ago someone promoting a new email service that "focused on privacy", etc. A few knowledgeable HN users quickly pointed out they were running Mail-in-a-Box on a single Digital Ocean droplet. Your open source link contains nothing, your blog has no posts, your Windows app is not found in the store, your privacy policy is from a free policy generator tool, there are no reviews due to the service being new and there is no documentation for how to use custom domains, etc. You may offer an excellent service, but there's not a lot to base trust on.

    It is a brand new service still in the early stages of development. Building trust will take time, especially since it's new, but I think competition in the email space is a good thing. Thanks for your feedback! Oh, also, the open source repos are coming soon. Only so much time in a day. :)
