Absolutely! Everyone has their own usage case, and one has to adapt accordingly -- even me! :)

My point was that simply selecting an email provider outside the US does not make email safe in any way and that end-to-end encryption is the only way to prevent providers from accessing the content.

Absolutely. Our argument (and to be fair, we are a provider) is that if you don't trust your provider then they're basically just a dumb blob transit pipeline. There's not much value add you can do there.

So we have focused on building the best thing we can for people who _do_ trust their provider, and also on having a business model which means that we can be a trustworthy provider because we have no secondary "customer" who is actually paying the bills. We don't have split loyalties.
