  • The privacy statement shows big words and all, but I’m interested in the legal page of privacy policy. Unfortunately, an orange flag is that it isn’t easily available from anywhere, which is a bad practice. Here is its link: https://mailbox.org/en/data-protection

    It’s not written like ordinary privacy policies, they organized it in categories, which funnily enough makes it harder to read and understand.

    Overall it’s pretty good but a lot of things aren’t mentioned. It seems like the IP with which you registered is permanently stored on their servers. Big red flag if that’s the case. Consider using a VPN/proxy when creating an account if that matters to you.

    It seems like they also let you store your private key encrypted by a password, which is a nice way to do it. Incoming emails are encrypted this way which makes them encrypted at rest. I wonder how it works with other email clients though. Nothing to say more than it’s perfect.

    They don’t use the content of your emails, they don’t sell your data or "track" you. That’s nice!


    NOTE: I actually didn’t read proton's privacy policy! So I can’t compare both, but in terms of privacy you’re pretty good with mailbox. Their analytics respect your privacy overall. Anonymity isn’t perfect but they allow VPNs and Tor exit nodes. They would benefit from having more transparency around this subject: data collection and time of retention.

  • No worries! That’s kind of you :)

    My simple answer for encryption is that encryption at rest ensures that if the mail provider gets hacked or an employee goes rogue, your mails won’t leak. This as well as them not being able to hand out your mail in case of an investigation. That’s pretty much their only advantage over a classical host.

  • Then you’re good. My main complaint is for the free plan. You either pay or are forced to use their UI and protocols. Most users are on the free plan and as such, enter kind of a walled garden

    Their predatory pricing also doesn’t make them look great

  • I feel like they gave good reasons as to what the problem is and why it exists, and potentially how to solve it (making git easier to use, which I’m all for, or use something else)

    You’re the only one insulting the project/devs. They were really respectful in their comment. You’re just misquoting them and making them say something they didn’t.

    You’re just too entitled. Some opinions can be direct and harsh, and still be valid and constructive criticism. Grow some thick skin and get over it.
