This is another lavabit. They receive e-mails in clear text and then they encrypt it. This is not secure at all. It would be ok if it they were clear about it, but it's exactly the opposite "[...]This means that no one can read your e-mails except yourself – no password thieves, no governmental or law enforcement agencies, not even us here at mailbox.org." |

and our doodle film explains the benefit and risk.
Using the feature does not forbit to set up a "real" PGP end-to-end-encryption. Users should do that and our job is to help them -- step by step. And we're explaining that to them.
Our encrypted INBOX is useful in case an e-mail hasn't been sent encrypted, because there ARE many senders (like companies or unexperienced users) that do NOT encrypt their e-mail. That's how it is, so we have to deal with that. It's a kind of "add on".
Right today round about 10% of our inboxes are completly encrypted. That's great, but we'll still have to raise that level. An: > 10% of our users are familiar with encryption in their daily e-mail-usage. -And they will explain that to friends, business contacts and family. The usage and knowledge of encryption has to grow -- and having an encrypted INBOX is one (!) step to it.
