These are their objections:
1. Search isn’t possible
- It's possible on the client. The total text in an email account is not prohibitively large and can be cached on the client.
2. Previews can’t be calculated
- It can be on the client, then reuploaded encrypted.
3. If you lose your private key, we can’t recover your email
- Of course, this is equivalent to losing your email account password.
4. Spam checking on content isn’t possible
- It is on the client, and on the server based on headers.
5. To access mail on multiple devices, the private key needs to be shared securely between them
- Protonmail solved this, what's the problem?

- WithinReason 3y agoProtonMail solved this using email aliases so you never have to give out your real address. If you get spam on one you just redirect it to your spam folder.
