Skiff seems like a cool newcomer, especially regarding Protons inability to solve problems within their applications.
What is Skiffs; answer to/version of, this Protonmail setup:
External email → Simplelogin alias → (PGP+generic subject field) → Protonmail alias → Protonmail inbox
For as little as $2 per year, you can get a custom domain through Skiff where we will privately register it for you within minutes. You can then have unlimited alisaes on that domain.
Instead of going through alias → PGP → other alias, mail will simply be encrypted with your Skiff account public keys - including the subject - and go to your inbox. Skiff Mail’s client blocks trackers (if you enable remote content blocking) and proxies all image requests to hide your IP and all other identifying data.
Okay, so I have another complaint. I picked up a Pro plan with my $10 worth of credits. Then I saw that you can downgrade, so I did that to save $6 of my credits, and now I noticed that $4 are gone from my bank account, and I wasn’t aware that I will be paying with my real money, not credits.
I’ve been using Skiff for a few weeks now. While I did encounter a few bugs, the overall experience is fine.
But I believe that the speed of the platform might prevent users from migrating. For instance, downloading email attachments takes a significant amount of time, especially for relatively larger files (e.g., 10MB).
I also appreciate efforts made by Skiff to improve security and privacy and listening to the community.
If there was a vote to decide whether to list Skiff or not, I would have voted for it to be included.
Thank you! I can look into attachment downloading, that is really helpful to know. What other speed issues do you have? We’ve tried to make Mail a lot faster recently.
Thanks I really appreciate that Skiff listens to users and improve the service according to the feedbacks.
For the transfer speeds, I had troubles while downloading attachments and files from the Drive.
I voted, I think Skiff really deserve to be listed.
