>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.

What 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.
