Security features (SSL/TLS encryption, PGP encryption, ClamAV antivirus, Rspamd antispam, ...).
Privacy policy (the service collects username and email for registration/contact purposes, uses Stripe for payment, doesn't sell data, and respects RGDP).

Not sure if new pull requests notify potential reviewers automatically? @brianlovin?

Hey @brianlovin, thanks for looking at it! Any chance I can get some feedback on why this pull request was rejected?

This site is generally trying to target less tech savvy folks, aka "regular" internet users. This isn't always possible, as a lot of security tools require some technical literacy (VPNs, for example, require someone to learn about what it does). In this case, I felt that Postale did not look approachable or trustworthy compared to many of the other options. This feels closer to a service that an early adopter hacker might be interested in, but not someone who is looking for a reliable email provider.

Thanks for that explanation @brianlovin. Perhaps the service reviews could make you change your mind about it, but if not that's ok too! :) EDIT: you're absolutely right about the ease of use aspect IMHO.
