For anyone who's unaware, gmail is scanning your messages to sell you things and train its AI. Not that that matters to most gmail users. That they would lie about EE2E is par for the course.

PGP and implementations based on it are the only secure option. Anything that is a web app is inherently insecure. Thunderbird supports it on both desktop and mobile.

How does PGP protect email metadata?

If you cant afford to leave any metadata, you cant use server based systems and need to use minimalistic P2P stuff instead. Like Briar for example.

When it comes to the discussion of securing email with PGP (in practice GPG), I always refer to this article: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/ which explains the issue quite well.

Why don't we move on from using email for anything important? Perhaps matrix. It works like email. Or some new Fediverse platform for this, with end to end encryption of course.

Email was the original fediverse.

There's like nothing wrong with email

I'm curious if anyone sends encrypted emails to gmail users, and how they do it. I just turn off encryption when sending to them.
