>Show me that advertisement.
Look at the landing page. It clearly advertises end-to-end encryption and claims PM cannot read your emails, which is false. It does not mention that E2EE is only available between PM users.
>Yes the whole infrastructure
Don't move the goalposts. You said the server. Their server is not open source.
- Avamander 5y ago> It does not mention that E2EE is only available between PM users. To the extent that PGP is E2E, it's available between anyone.
- c7DJTLrn 5y agoThen advertising it as a feature of PM is still misleading. The correct way to advertise it would be as "GPG Support", or "GPG Integration".
- Avamander 5y ago"GPG support" is "E2E support" though. Calling that false advertising is like calling "e-mail service" false advertising because it's actually "IMAP/SMTP service".
- willis936 5y ago>PM cannot read your emails, which is false How so? The storage is encrypted with a key they don't have. They can read all of the non-encrypted email traffic that passes through their servers, but that's true of any router in the path of nearly all email traffic as well. They don't have the ability to decrypt the store of emails. This is valuable because most email hosting providers are one hack or subpoena away from being a massive info dump of all of their users.
- sbuk 5y agoWhat they're saying is they can't access your mail at rest, in your mailbox. I'm guessing they do spam and virus checks etc, which has to done decrypted and can be syphoned off to another store. I am suspicious of any mail service that makes the claims that they do based on how email works. Of course PGP is encrypted at point of origin, but that means that they can't be security checked, other than basic DNS auth checks. Less of an issue I grant you, but an issue none the less.
