  • No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.

    Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.

    The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.

    So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.

    (Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)




  • I’ve run iodéOS for at least a year by now.

    It used to have some bugs that mildly inconvenienced me,but they have all been fixed now.

    I really like it. It just works.

    Uninstallable default apps just means that the stores (f-droid / aurora), browsers, camera and lots more can be removed in the settings, so you dont need to root access to do so.

    Don’t want the default email client and contacts app? Just uninstall them from the settings. Takes a reboot to take effect.

    If you need them again, just go back there, install them again, reboot and you’re golden.

    Attaching a screenshot from the “Preinstalled apps” page in the settings.

    Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

    I believe money shouldn’t be involved.

    Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.

    All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.

    Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.
