Comment Not E2EE if not user managed keys (Score 2) 27
It's not end to end encryption if the mail transport provider manages the encryption keys. I participated in the Google early testing of PGP for Gmail but that never got past beta testing. It seems they decided that key management is too complicated for Johnny, so they went with server side S/MIME for Gmail. Nevertheless they cannot claim that they have deployed true end-to-end encryption.
