So, one can only send encrypted mails to other users of the platform?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tutanota.uservoice.com&#x2F;knowledgebase&#x2F;articles&#x2F;470724-why-does-tutanota-not-use-pgp" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tutanota.uservoice.com&#x2F;knowledgebase&#x2F;articles&#x2F;470724-...</a>

The NSA Planned to Hijack Google App Store to Hack Smartphones [1]<p>Given that software updates are automatic (unless you manually turn them off etc), how can you trust an app if you can&#x27;t trust the platform?<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;firstlook.org&#x2F;theintercept&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;21&#x2F;nsa-five-eyes-google-samsung-app-stores-spyware&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;firstlook.org&#x2F;theintercept&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;21&#x2F;nsa-five-eyes-...</a>

I thought it was already easy on Android with K-9 and APG.

Slightly OT, but what&#x27;s the likelihood of Apple&#x2F;Google integrating PGP natively into the OS? I know iPhone has S&#x2F;MINE - but is PGP too much to ask?

This will never work. I&#x27;m more enthusiastic about DIME.[1]<p>I think SMTP will not (and cannot) ever be replaced. But if there will be DIME support in Postfix and Thunderbird, I can give it a chance.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darkmail.info&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darkmail.info&#x2F;</a>

I have to be honest, I have given up on pgp. From what I know there is no way to have encrypted communications between more than two people. So why even bother pursuing the dream of everyone using it if there is such a roadblock in the way of common communication habits.

A good alternative is Countermail [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;countermail.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;countermail.com&#x2F;</a>] (probably more secure than Tutanova, to the extent possible for these services) and an app such as K-9 Mail.

Don&#x27;t forget <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;protonmail.ch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;protonmail.ch</a> They are working on iOS and Android apps, and from what I&#x27;ve seen they have the most promise of making encryption simple for ALL.

<i>&quot;Swiss Data Security<p>Our email service safeguards user data with strict privacy protections and our secure datacenter facility hidden inside a Swiss granite mountain.&quot;</i><p>Now that is comforting.

I might be missing something but the source of the actual iOS app doesn&#x27;t appear to be on their Github.
