So an encrypted inbox is an option a la Mailbox.org rather than the default a la Proton?
Because the website makes it sound as if Mailfence cannot read a customer’s inbox, as if it’s encrypted by default:
No one can read your encrypted emails Since emails are encrypted by your browser and decrypted by the intended recipients, no one else can read them, not even Mailfence. This is called end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
We do store your private key on our servers but we can’t read it, since it is encrypted with your passphrase (via AES-256). There is no root key that would allow us to decrypt messages encrypted with your keys.
Apologies for not being super knowledgeable about encryption technology. I’m just trying to understand: can Mailfence access customers’ inboxes or not?
Thank you for your help!
