To me a next-gen e-mail platform is one that has end to end encryption enabled by default, like say what Dark Mail is trying to achieve. Seeing how Dropbox has never once considered to add E2E encryption for its storage service, and how they're hired the anti-champion of privacy, Condoleezza Rice, I'm not expecting that to happen here - ever.
- weeheewoohoo 12y agoThis is the first thing I thought of too. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would even consider using their service for anything other than sending cat pics or as a spam mailbox
- mkal_tsr 12y agoThe moment they announced Condoleezza Rice I closed my Dropbox account and moved to SpiderOak (playing with OwnCloud now). Not having full e2e encryption is an absolute deal-breaker for me. The service looks nice and I like that I can play with the code, but without encryption (especially when Inbox App offers hosted email), there's nothing to write home about, for me (and I'm sure IA solves issues other people have that I do not).
- SideburnsOfDoom 12y agoYep. A "Software as a service" hosted email system is not "next generation". It's last year's thinking.
