So, one can only send encrypted mails to other users of the platform?<p><a href="http://tutanota.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/470724-why-does-tutanota-not-use-pgp" rel="nofollow">http://tutanota.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/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't trust the platform?<p>1. <a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/21/nsa-five-eyes-google-samsung-app-stores-spyware/" rel="nofollow">https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/21/nsa-five-eyes-...</a>
Slightly OT, but what's the likelihood of Apple/Google integrating PGP natively into the OS? I know iPhone has S/MINE - but is PGP too much to ask?
This will never work. I'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://darkmail.info/" rel="nofollow">https://darkmail.info/</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://countermail.com/" rel="nofollow">https://countermail.com/</a>] (probably more secure than Tutanova, to the extent possible for these services) and an app such as K-9 Mail.

They are working on iOS and Android apps, and from what I've seen they have the most promise of making encryption simple for ALL.
