Short description

“When an e-mail addressed to your account is received by the wölkli Mail server, it gets encrypted with your own cryptographic keys, even before it reaches your inbox. This means that your e-mails are unreadable by others, including us.”

“with a PRO account, you can even use your favorite e-mail client”

Why I think this tool should be added

Well encryption is currently under siege in CH land

I guess stuff out from CH aint so hot right now and makes me rethink about how to go about email

Does this matter much for general use email? It says “It’s not about end-to-end encryption. They don’t want to force you to reveal what’s inside the communication itself, but they want to know where it goes,”

It seems the benefit is the provider cannot open and read your inbox. I would not be using end-to-end encrypted emails like Proton-to-Proton.

I think there are some pretty obvious reasons why, for example a journalist, might not want a government know where all their emails are sent and coming from.

As Nym points out in the article from the thread @HauntSanctuary links

“The whole point of security and privacy is not being able to link the usage to the person. That’s the most critical thing,” Roussel told TechRadar.


To bring this back on topic @hynow have you gone through and checked if the service meets the criteria?
