If you used your preferred mail client, it wouldn't be encrypted end to end. This isn't a resolvable difference without running a local mail server decrypting the messages.
- Xylakant 12y ago> If you used your preferred mail client, it wouldn't be encrypted end to end No? Both S/MIME and GPG provide E2E encryption and work with traditional mail clients. Both provide offline access. They also have their problems, but that's another story. My point is: This is a neat system. It certainly has it's own set of advantages and disadvantages, but it's a centralized system that does not work very much like mail. So don't call it mail.

- Xylakant 12y agoThat sounds awfully like a DRM wrapper around the content. What happens if the virtru keystore goes down or is unreachable (temporarily or permanently). Do I have access to the messages I sent/received? Can the sender retroactively change access to the content?
