Request: OpenSource

Cool idea

• Why is not opensource?

• Cyphering: I just read the faqs, but it could be cool to sign the messages somehow. https://keybase.io/

Hey, the project is not open sourced yet because I haven't had time to clean up the code enough and actually extract it from larger project.

re. encryption. You can always use standard PGP encryption used in emails with e.g. mailvelope browser extension. I have plans to implement automatic encryption but it's a complex problem and will require a lot of time. If you are sending emails to other users of ethmail you can always try to encrypt messages with their public keys using some tools.

But since we are on this topic, how would you imagine this encryption to work (ideal case) from perspective of:

• sending email from ethmail to ethmail account (internal delivery)
• sending email from gmail to ethmail
• sending email from ethmail to gmail Who and when would encrypt and decrypt those email and how would they do it? (I'm trying to gather feedback on expectations on this feature)

Right, there are many things i didn't know about...

Focusing on use cases and then deriving features can be useful too.

DAOs will need this kind of service to :

• create accounts in service providers ( google cloud, domain services etc) using a shared email account maybe protected by a multisig or accesible by different addresses.

Individuals will need this service to:

• communicate anonimously and safely.

So, starting from this use cases the security needed can be derived
