* User-friendly support for both OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption and signatures
* A very fast, scalable search engine
I'd like to know how they achieve both without having the keys, and without shipping code (JS, java applet) that has access to the keys.
Also, excuse my lack of trust, but why should I trust a SaaS created by a Google employee, as opposed to trusting a SaaS created by Google ? That makes no sense to me.
If you're worried about privacy, store your own emails. Period.
- HerraBRE 13y agoThis is not a SaaS. This is an open source mail client you run yourself. So that's why. :-)
- jvehent 13y agoI had missed that. Thanks for clarifying.
- mikegioia 13y agoI don't understand, are you generally concerned that Mailpile's web JS can search emails, and therefore has access to private user keys/certificates? I mean, doesn't that just come to whether or not you trust the javascript that Mailpile is writing? I don't think this any less secure than say Thunderbird with respect to PGP/SMIME.
- dangerlibrary 13y agoUnless I'm misunderstanding, the goal of the Mailpile project is to create a user-friendly client for an arbitrary (including self-hosted) email server.
