Mailelf will certainly work with your existing accounts. That is the primary goal so that people don't have to change email or providers. We want normal people to be able to easily use this application (which happens to have some server features). We would like to ultimately provide MTA features. However, if you know what you are doing you can already run exim or postfix as your own MTA. The initial Mailelf app will act as a MUA (client) and take care of handling key exchanges and securing messages between other Mailelf users and existing PGP setups (existing asymmetric cryptography). Enigmail is a great way to get stated using PGP, but it is still too high of a barrier for most people who want something more simple.
