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. |

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 user@email.com 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.
