I don't understand why it took us 50 years to figure out how to do encrypted messaging-over-email. Anyone wanna swap email addresses?

if you (and your friends) control your (and their) keys, then the actual contents of your communications can't be compromised. i think email is fine if you understand the limitations.

    i would never bother with anything that i consider to be highly secure over any clearnet service. but for keeping advertisers out of my messages or just run of the mill dragnets, or spot-censorship (like how facebook or others forbid certain links), i think deltachat is a really reasonable solution.

    but to this point:

    , it is inadvisable for privacy to keep data (even in an encrypted form) on a server post delivery.

    deltachat has an option to delete server-side.
