Submission + - New privacy oriented FOSS web-mail: Mailpile

Submitted by Juggler on Saturday August 03, 2013 @10:05AM

Juggler writes: Mailpile, a new Free Software project out of Iceland, launched at the #OHM2013 hacker festival in Holland today. The talk's brief demo garnered rounds of applause and was followed by the launch of an Indiegogo campaign which, if funded, will allow them work full time on building a modern e-mail/web-mail client. The team's main goals are to address the usability issues that prevent non-technical folks from taking advantage of secure e-mail today, bring new life to FOSS e-mail development and provide a realistic alternative to keeping e-mail in the cloud.

Thanks. It's easy being jaded and lazy, no one should get credit for that.

Yup. They intended to include legacy support but gave up, not really giving a reason...

Smartest thing I have read on "post humans", "the singularity" or even on humans in general so far...

Probably, but the Google location stuff is opt-in anyway. Just don't turn it on on your Android phone.

You do have an android phone, right?

Google's brand used to be gold, now it is shit.

Wow, really?

There are comparisons of the value brands available online, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple...

Just google them, you might be surprised ;)

I see a lot of nonsense about the "free market" here on Slashdot. The EU is trying to create or sustain a free market with this action.

The "free market" isn't magic. I don't know why a lot of Slashdotters seem to believe that...
