You create your account in the decentralized Eppie network aka web3 email, where you can transfer your old mailboxes along with all your contacts, emails, attachments, etc., while using your old addresses to communicate. From this moment on, your account and data are unblockable, untrackable, uncensored.

I think this statement might convey a false sense of privacy. New incoming and outgoing messages that go through your old addresses can still be tracked, blocked, etc. If I understand correctly, the p2p aspect is only at play when sending emails to others on the eppie network. Otherwise, they go through whatever external mailbox is linked to the account.

That's right. Thank you!

Phrasing is important. There are few different pieces of functionality we are talking about here:

1. Eppie is a client to a p2p network based on its own protocol for decentralized messaging between Eppie users.

2. Eppie can also work as a conventional IMAP/SMTP email client. Obviously, you need to connect your centralized email account.

3. While doing so, you can optionally choose to move your data from that server to Eppie. Whether that email provider actually removes it from its storage is not under our control.

4. You can also use conventional email addresses for decentralized messaging. For this to work both users need to be Eppie clients.

5. When you message some [e-mail] and they are not using Eppie, your message is sent over a traditional email network and does land on provider’s server, in which case it won’t be private anymore.

So if I hook up my gmail account to this service, and I send an email via Eppie to my mom's outlook.com email, the outbound Sent Item won't show up in my gmail Sent Items folder?

[valeryeppie]

Yes, if your mom is also an Eppie user. Which she can be. It’s as simple as any other email client.
