Update 2024: Skiff Mail is closing down
As we covered in this news article from February 2024, Skiff Mail will be shutting down and all users need to migrate off the platform.
Despite showing promise, Skiff Mail is no longer an option.
We’d recommend people checking out our guide on the best secure email services here.

Our previous Skiff Mail review continues below…
Today we are going to talk about a relatively new email service called Skiff Mail. While it looks very much like every other email service you have ever used, that standard appearance hides some interesting technology and philosophical views.
In this Skiff Mail review you’ll learn how and why Skiff Mail is different and why it just might be the right email service for you.
Note: Skiff Mail is the latest component added to the Skiff suite of tools. Currently, the suite consists of Pages (an editor/workspace), Drive (cloud storage for Pages and other documents), Calendar, and Mail. All components of Skiff are protected by strong encryption so not even Skiff can access your content. The fact that it is end-to-end encrypted is just one of the ways that Skiff Mail differs from services like Gmail.
Before we dig down deep, here are the pros and cons of Skiff Mail as we see them:
+ Pros
- Easy to use with almost no learning curve
- E2E encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA) for security and privacy
- Protection from trackers and phishing attacks
- Numerous advanced email features (including the ability to unsend mail)
- Web interface plus apps for macOS, Android, and iOS
– Cons
- Not as widely used as the big names in email
- Limited customization options
- Mobile Skiff Mail apps don’t give you access to other Skiff components
Skiff Mail features
Skiff Mail has the type of solid feature set you would expect for a new email service. These features include:
- End-to-end (E2E) encryption (including the Subject)
- Address verification
- Email aliases, custom domains, and Skiff Domains
- Protection from trackers and phishing attacks
- Scheduled sending of messages, automatic replies, custom signatures, and the ability to unsend mail
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Additional features for Pro and Business plan subscribers
End-to-End (E2E) encryption
Messages between Skiff users are E2E encrypted. The encryption occurs right on your device, using encryption keys that also remain on your device. That means only you and the recipient have the ability to decrypt the messages you send. Even the folks at Skiff Mail can’t read these messages.
Skiff Mail encrypts both the body of a message and its subject. This is a privacy improvement over services like Proton Mail that use PGP or Open PGP. The PGP standard does not encrypt the subject of your messages.
Note: Skiff’s E2E encryption also protects your Skiff Contacts and Skiff Calendar (we’ll talk about these services later).
Address verification
Skiff Mail allows users to verify the email address of someone they are communicating with. It works by sending a verification link to the email address provided, which when clicked verifies that it is a valid address.
The service also checks the address against known blacklists of malicious emails, ensuring that the address is safe to use. Skiff Mail verification helps protect users from spammers, scam emails, and other malicious activities.
Email aliases, custom domains, and Skiff Domains
If you are like us, one single email address doesn’t cut it. One way we manage our email is by having different aliases for different purposes. We also have multiple domains under our control and those domains need their own unique email addresses.
Happily, Skiff Mail supports those needs. All Skiff subscriptions allow you to create Skiff.com aliases, with the number of aliases determined by the specific plan you select. The Free plan allows four (4) Skiff.com aliases. The Pro plan allows ten (10) aliases, and the Business plan allows fifteen (15) aliases.
Likewise, Skiff Mail allows you to connect custom domains, with the number of domains determined by the plan you select. Only the Pro and Business plans support custom domains, with the Pro plan supporting two (2) custom domains, and the Business plan supporting five (5) custom domains.
Skiff Mail also can simplify the headaches associated with connecting domains to your mail client. With Skiff Domains, you can select a new domain through Skiff and let them configure it for you.
Protection from trackers and phishing attacks
Skiff Mail takes steps to protect you from trackers, phishing attacks, and other malware. Your IP address and device information are also hidden when you open messages to prevent this infomation from getting passed to malicious destinations.
Advanced email features
Skiff Mail incorporates several advanced email features that you could find useful. They include:
- Scheduled sending of messages
- Automatic replies
- Custom email signatures
- The ability to unsend mail
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) protects your email even if hackers somehow manage to get your Skiff Mail credentials. You should always enable 2FA is you care about your privacy.
Additional features for Pro and Business plan subscribers
Upgrading to one of the paid plans, Pro or Business, gets you additional features like these:
- Increased storage capacity. The Free plan includes 10 GB of storage. The Pro plan includes 100 GB, and the Business plan includes 1 TB of storage.
- Additional custom domains and aliases (as discussed above)
- Unlimited message sending. The Free plan is limited to sending 200 messages per day.
- Unlimited mail folders and labels. The Free plan is limited to five (5) folders and labels.
Hands-on with Skiff Mail
If you have used an email app before, you will find Skiff Mail to be very easy to use.
Signing up for Skiff Mail
Start by signing up for a Skiff account. You don’t need to enter any personally identifiable information (PII). This gives Skiff Mail a leg up on services like Mailfence, which does require you to enter a valid email address to create a new account.
Skiff Mail gives you a PDF with a recovery phrase you can use to get into your account if you forget your password. You can also give them a backup email address to use if you get locked out. But that is optional, and we don’t recommend it if you want to maximize the privacy of your account.
The look and feel of Skiff Mail
The Skiff Mail web app looks very much like your standard email client. Here’s what the Skiff Mail Inbox looks like in the web app:
And here’s the Inbox in the Android app:
Composing, sending, and receiving mail
In most cases, composing, sending, and receiving mail messages with Skiff Mail works the same as you are accustomed to. Here’s the New message window:
You can see in the preceding image that Skiff Mail doesn’t offer a lot of fancy formatting options for your messages. You can, however, include images and attachments. Also, you have the option to delay the sending of a message. Click the clock icon and Skiff Mail gives you a couple of options for when to send the message. It also allows you to enter a custom time of your choice.
That’s really all there is to composing messages. If your message is going to another Skiff user, it is encrypted on your device and travels encrypted to the recipient, who is the only person who can decrypt it. But things work a little differently when sending mail to a non-Skiff recipient.
Sending mail to non-Skiff users
Private, encrypted email services like Proton Mail, Tutanota, and Skiff Mail have different ways of dealing with the problem of exchanging email with recipients who don’t use the same mail service. Here’s how Skiff Mail deals with the problem:
When you send mail to a non-Skiff user, the Skiff Mail app on your device still encrypts the mail. But it then sends the mail to a Skiff decryption service, which decrypts it, sends it to its final destination outside Skiff, then deletes the decrypted version of the message.
The point of all this is that even mail sent outside of Skiff remains encrypted while inside the system.
Still, handling mail between Skiff users and outsiders could be improved. Other encrypted email services put some effort into getting the message to non-Skiff users in an encrypted form. For example, Proton Mail has a (somewhat cumbersome) system for notifying a recipient that they have an encrypted message that they can view if they know a special password.
Searching in Skiff mail
Skiff Mail has a search feature that lets you look for words or phrases in a message. The search box lets you focus your searches to some extent by specifying whether to search for People, Attachments, Labels, or Folders, as well as for specific words or phrases.
During our testing we found that search only detected words or phrases that were in the message header.
Skiff Mail support
We did contact Skiff support during the course of this review. Support is available via email. The tech responded to our questions quickly and courteously and the answers were exactly what we needed.
Skiff plans and pricing
As we alluded to elsewhere in this quick review, Skiff Mail is part of the Skiff suite. There are three plans available: Free, Pro, and Business. At the time of this review, the plans were priced as follows:
- Free plan – Free of course!
- Pro plan – $8 per month when billed Annually, and $10 per month when billed monthly.
- Business plan – $12 per month when billed Annually, and $15 per month when billed monthly.
Skiff Mail FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions that people have about Skiff Mail:
What is Skiff Mail?
Skiff Mail is an email service that aims to be an encrypted alternative to Gmail – and eventually much more than that. How so? By moving toward a decentralized model of email, one that doesn’t tie the fate of your email to the fate of some faceless corporation.
How does Skiff Mail encrypt all my data?
Skiff is a fully end-to-end encrypted service. It uses public key authenticated encryption with Curve25519 key generation and secret-key authenticated encryption using xsalsa20-poly1305.
How do I get a domain name for my email?
Skiff Mail supports two ways of getting a domain for your email. One is to register your domain through a standard domain registry service. Then you manually configure the CNAME, T, and MX records necessary to get your new domain connected to your Skiff account.
The other approach is more convenient. You can register a new domain directly through the new Skiff Domains service and be ready to go in minutes, without all the manual mucking about.
Is Skiff Mail secure?
Yes, Skiff Mail is a secure email service. It uses end-to-end encryption, which means that your data is secure and only the senders and recipients of messages can read them. But be aware that messages between Skiff and non-Skiff users travel unencrypted between the Skiff service and the non-Skiff user.
What does it mean when they say that Skiff Mail is decentralized?
This is a confusing topic that should be viewed from the perspective of the Skiff suite and not just Skiff Mail. As it was explained to us by Skiff Support, Skiff has decentralized identity, key ownership, and storage.
When you log into another email service, you do so with an identity that belongs to that service. For example, when you log into Gmail, you use a Gmail address, which of course belongs to Google. You can log into Skiff with a Skiff address, but you can also log in using a Web3 address like a MetaMask wallet or an ENS name. These identities do not belong to Skiff.
Skiff uses public key encryption to protect your data. Those keys belong to you, not to Skiff.
Finally, while your data is normally stored on Skiff’s servers, you can elect to store your data using the Interplanetary File System (IPFS). IPFS is a storage system that distributes your encrypted data across the internet in a decentralized fashion. One of the goals of the Skiff team is to eventually offer a version of Skiff that can function using IPFS completely independent of Skiff’s own servers.
What’s the biggest drawback to using Skiff Mail?
The biggest drawback to using Skiff Mail is the fact that relatively few people use the service right now. As of now, the Skiff suite had over 500 thousand users. We aren’t clear on how many of those suite users are also using Skiff Mail. But even if every single Skiff user is an avid Skiff Mail user, that isn’t really a lot of users.
Proton Mail, which is probably the most popular private email service has over 70 million users. And Gmail, the big daddy of email services, reportedly has over 1,900,000,000 users. That’s almost 2 billion users.
In other words, the biggest drawback to using Skiff Mail could be finding other Skiff users to exchange messages with.
Conclusion
Skiff Mail is one of the newest private email services on the market. Even the free plan handles all the basics of email in a way that you are surely already familiar with. The fact that it is part of a private suite of free apps boosts its value if you are in the market for more than just email. Even if you just care about the email side of things, Skiff Mail is worth a look.

It’s official. The morons at Notion have this written on a referral page when you try to access Skiff: “We are [excited] to share that Skiff has joined Notion.” (emphasis added). They officially sunset Skiff on August 9. Before this, you could still access the site and send/receive mail.
Meanwhile, the only information about Notion is from their wiki page: “Notion is a productivity and note-taking web application developed by Notion Labs, Inc. It is an online only organizational tool on many different operating systems, with options for both free and paid subscriptions. It is based in San Francisco, California, United States”

Just got a reminder email today about the demise of Skiff. They do claim if you have mail forwarding setup it will continue until the new year: Feb 25, 2025.
Stephen
Has anyone been successful in exporting their Skiff mail? It’s just stuck for me. I tried over the last few weeks. I have no issue with exporting contacts. Support doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Donovan
You need to export individually based on folders. Doing a bulk export won’t for me either.
Go to your Inbox folder, select all and then right click, export. Do this for all your folders including sent items, and then rename the downloaded zip for each folder eg. Skiff Mail – Inbox_export.zip

Skiff Mail è un nuovo servizio di posta elettronica crittografato end-to-end, ma dovresti usarlo?
Skiff Mail è stato lanciato al pubblico, è un nuovo provider di servizi di posta elettronica crittografato end-to-end.
La società afferma di concentrarsi sulla protezione della privacy dei suoi utenti.
Il servizio è nativo Web3, puoi avere un account personale gratuito.
Sebbene il post sul blog di Skiff Mail affermi che gli utenti ottengono 10 GB di spazio di archiviazione cloud gratuito per la registrazione di un account personale, la pagina dei prezzi a cui puoi accedere dalle impostazioni mostra che hai solo 1 GB di spazio.
L’e-mail non è l’unica cosa che Skiff può fare, puoi anche salvare note in formato Markdown, blocchi di codice, modificare e creare documenti. Puoi scegliere di archiviare i tuoi dati su un server decentralizzato, aggiungere alias email, importare documenti da Google Drive o caricarli direttamente dal tuo computer.
Gli utenti hanno un limite di caricamento di 30 MB.
Una delle funzionalità evidenziate nel post dell’annuncio è la ricerca istantanea di Skiff, che può cercare istantaneamente i risultati in migliaia di file.
I dati associati al tuo account vengono sincronizzati su tutti i tuoi dispositivi.
Le app di Skiff sono open source , puoi accedere all’app Web dal tuo browser o installare l’app mobile sul tuo dispositivo iOS o Android o l’app desktop sul tuo computer macOS.
Durante la registrazione di un account, Skiff Mail ti chiederà di salvare una chiave di ripristino monouso, che puoi utilizzare per sbloccare il tuo account se dimentichi la password.
Se lo perdi, non puoi accedere all’account, a causa della crittografia utilizzata dal servizio.
Puoi abilitare 2FA (autenticazione a due fattori) dalle impostazioni per proteggere il tuo account.
I nuovi utenti possono creare un account utilizzando il proprio portafoglio MetaMask e la società afferma che presto supporterà Brave Wallet.
Skiff Mail ha piani a pagamento a cui puoi eseguire l’aggiornamento, per ulteriori vantaggi.
Dovresti usare Skiff Mail?
È sempre bello vedere un nuovo provider di servizi di posta elettronica crittografato che cerca di fornire un po’ di concorrenza al resto.
Ma dovresti usare Skiff Mail? Diamo un’occhiata alla Privacy Policy del servizio, vero?.
Scorri verso il basso fino alla sezione intitolata Raccolta automatica dei dati e vedrai che il sito Web di Skiff Mail raccoglie le seguenti informazioni dall’utente.
• Indirizzo IP
• Indirizzo MAC
• Identificatori di cookie
• Operatore di telefonia mobile (provider di telefonia cellulare)
• Impostazioni utente
• Informazioni sul browser o sul dispositivo
La raccolta delle impostazioni dell’utente è forse accettabile così come le informazioni sul browser e sul dispositivo, sono probabilmente legate ai cookie memorizzati nel browser e forse per compatibilità.
Oltre ai dati personali di cui sopra, Skiff Mail raccoglie anche le informazioni generali sulla posizione e la posizione approssimativa in base al tuo indirizzo IP.
Non sei ancora convinto?
Continuiamo a leggere l’informativa sulla privacy.
L’informativa sulla privacy di Skiff Mail afferma che raccoglierà altre informazioni come le pagine Web che visiti prima, durante e dopo l’utilizzo dei suoi servizi.
Traccerà anche i collegamenti su cui fai clic, il contenuto con cui interagisci e la frequenza con cui sei attivo e utilizzi i servizi dell’azienda. L’azienda non rispetterà le richieste Do Not Track inviate dal browser web.
L’Informativa sulla privacy afferma che tutti i dati raccolti da Skiff Mail vengono utilizzati per fornire i propri servizi, commercializzare e pubblicizzare i propri prodotti all’utente e per i suoi scopi operativi.
Tuttavia, nella sezione successiva dell’informativa sulla privacy si legge che la società divulgherà le informazioni dell’utente a terzi per una serie di scopi commerciali, e ciò include la condivisione dei dati con i propri fornitori di servizi, partner commerciali, partner pubblicitari.
E se dovesse essere fusa o acquisita da un’altra società o qualcosa del genere, le tue informazioni potrebbero essere vendute o trasferite come parte della transazione.
Sebbene nelle impostazioni sia presente un pulsante per l’eliminazione dell’account, l’unico modo per eliminare le informazioni sull’utente è contattare Skiff Mail via e-mail.
E poi ci sono alcuni strumenti di terze parti che vengono utilizzati dall’azienda per scopi analitici e questi hanno le proprie politiche sulla privacy.
L’unica cosa a cui Skiff non può accedere sembra essere il contenuto delle tue e-mail, perché sono crittografate.
Ma a cosa serve la crittografia end-to-end, se un servizio raccoglie così tanti dati dall’utente e li tiene traccia? Impara le tue abitudini di navigazione, che essenzialmente sta profilando l’utente.
Questo non è diverso da ciò che fanno Facebook e Google, vero?
Se leggi l’informativa sulla privacy di altri servizi di posta crittografati end-to-end come ProtonMail (non piu affidabile perche consegnava dati alle autorita svizzere) e Tutanota , non troverai tali clausole di raccolta dei dati lì.
E i dati che raccolgono sono fatti in modo anonimo, cioè non profilano gli utenti.

They just announced that they are acquired by Notion. 6 months to migrate. Their communication regarding the skiff.com addresses is more than vague but it seems that it will no longer exist. So disappointing

Skiff × Notion
Dear Skiff Community,
We are excited to share that Skiff is joining Notion.
Skiff’s mission is to bring freedom to the internet by helping people collaborate and communicate with freedom and privacy. We see a deep alignment with Notion’s vision to build a connected workspace and enable everyone to build tools that reflect their values.
We’re extremely excited to accelerate our mission by joining forces with Notion’s world-class team. We sincerely hope that the Skiff community will join us for this next stage of our journey. We’re pursuing big plans for making all of our online lives freer and more empowered, and these plans will carry forward directly the ambitions we’ve strived for alongside the Skiff community.
As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff’s product suite after a 6-month sunset period We are deeply appreciative of the trust users have extended to us, and we are committed to honoring that trust by ensuring that all data on Skiff is easily exportable. For the next 6 months, Skiff services will continue to operate without disruption, and users can freely duplicate, migrate, or export data. You can now also set up a forwarding address to redirect mail to any other provider.
Our commitment to privacy and security is unchanged. All user data remains end-to-end encrypted, and Skiff products will never monetize your data. Accounts and data on Skiff will not be converted into Notion accounts.
We encourage you to export your data and migrate custom domains within the next 6 months. We’ve prepared this guide to make that process as easy as possible. For any other questions, our support team is readily available via the in-app “Send feedback” option or at support@skiff.org.
The Skiff community has lifted, inspired, and energized us at every step. We are humbled by your support and we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this change may cause you. We remain as committed as ever to bringing about the vision for a better internet that brought us together. Thank you for being part of the Skiff family, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with our future efforts.
Sincerely,
Skiff Team

I haven’t been able to log in to my email for a month, I emailed the support, but they don’t answer, which is really shameful
It is unreliable
The error I get:
It looks like there is a temporary connectivity issue. Please try again in a couple of minutes. On iOS, try temporarily disabling Lockdown Mode.
Anonymous
Because you need to disable lockdown mode for skiff. Go to Settings > Privacy > Lockdown Mode > Webpage and deselect skiff. It will start working.
Tenchi Muyo
They charge 80$ (!!!) per month if you choose a short family name,
they call it:
You’ve chosen a premium username Skiff
will always remain a free service. These aliases are reserved for our most dedicated members.
Tenchi Muyo
In the end, I like Skiff BUT:
They should urgently revise their pricing. For example, Tutanota’s Legend plan offers 500 GB plus 30 email aliases (so 31 in total).
With Skiff, you get only 200 GB of storage for the same cost, and only 14 email aliases.
Even Proton offers for the same costs 500 GB, 15 e-mail addresses,
Simple Login and several other services.

“…You can log into Skiff with a Skiff address, but you can also log in using a Web3 address like a MetaMask wallet or an ENS name…”
I could not find references to Web3 addresses, or ENS names, in your list of topics which Restore Privacy covers!
Any suggestions?

Hi Heinrich,
Thanks for the review.
This content in the review:
—
+ Pros
1. Easy to use with almost no learning curve
2. E2E encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA) for security and privacy
3. Protection from trackers and phishing attacks
4. Numerous advanced email features (including the ability to unsend mail)
5. Web interface plus apps for macOS, Android, and iOS
– Cons
1. Not as widely used as the big names in email
2. Limited customization options
3. Mobile Skiff Mail apps don’t give you access to other Skiff components
—
* Pro 2 seems questionable, given that email to non-Skiff users is unencrypted.
* Con 1 also seems dubious; have you a metric that you publish as a cut off between what is and what isn’t an acceptable number of users? Listing a minimum number of user will always disadvantage newcomers
* Con C also seems questionable; plenty of other mail apps are purely, drum roll…. mail apps.
I’ve only had a quick look at Skiff mail and find it quite interesting. The key feature that it lacks though imho, compared to some other email providers is a point listed in the review; namely inability to send encrypted emails to non-Skiff users. If the dev team at Skiff provide that feature in the way that for example Tuta do (i.e. the email can be decrypted by entering a password that has been provided separately), I’d very seriously consider embracing Skiff.

“US Based is better than German/EU based today. Look at chat control and what happened with Tutanota and adding a backdoor.”
I would not be so sure about that Andrew. Congress is trying to break encryption, for a 3rd time with the EARNIT ACT. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1207
TINP
I tried Skiff last year. At that time, we could NOT print or pdf-print our emails or export them. What’s the status now?
As for end-to-end encryption of “contents”, that doesn’t cover the “META” data, meaning the TO, FROM, CC, BCC, and SUBJECT line of emails. For example, if you are writing to a private investigator in encrypted email, and somebody wants to know WHO you are talking to, all they need is the META DATA, and they’ve got your private investigator who will betray you in a heartbeat to aid his career. I know whereof I speak. A paid encrypted email service I used was giving my meta-data to third parties (respondents in a law suit) without their having to get a court order. The mail service just handed it over.
So, if you think you’re safe and private because it’s “end to end” encrypted, check the meta data. That’s ALL anybody needs to know about you: the people you are talking to. It’s then easy to get them to cough up the required information.
hans Koch
Unfortunately, skiff is also not the right thing if you are looking for privacy.
The support unfortunately sees the aliases that were created under each account and therefore the weak point is the support or his account, no end to end Account. Unfortunately, this is also the case with proton!!!
Andrew-Skiff
You could create multiple accounts and not have this issue at all. Honestly, this isn’t a real detriment at all to any service, because no personal information is collected…
hans Koch
That you can create multiple accounts is of course clear to me to circumvent this, unfortunately, the handling then suffers enormously…
hans Koch
It is now possible to switch between different accounts in the app. Does skiff see which accounts run side by side in the app or that they come from the same app id , ip?
Tenchi Muyo
They should offer permanent via PayPal.
Only Credit Cards and Crypto are supported.
No-Proton-No-Skiff
Skiff Support
All looks good when you are contacting them for general questions. I had some really bad experiences with them. They will randomly hide your posts on their sub-reddit page when you ask about improving their support and publishing their apps to F-Droid. They are not transparent. Also, there’s no information on their privacy audit reports publicly available yet.
But the user-experience on their apps, is pretty good.
hans Koch
Thx for your comment.
Any proposal for a mail provider where all end to end is + android app?
Skiff,proton,…call themselves privacy,…and then the weak point sits right with them in the company in front of the PC or through the support account that probably has “sun” as a password
Thx for your efforts
Hmm
This and other points make me unsure wether Skiff is trustworthy.
They say they offer more free space than other encrypted drive services – but what about Mega?
However the founder of Mega isn’t so trustworthy I think..
They say Skiff is open source on the blog (skiff.com/blog/personal-cloud-storage) for example or
“Unlike most privacy-first solutions, Skiff Drive is fully transparent about the codebase. The platform is open source, so all security measures can be verified. You can visit Skiff’s GitHub to examine the cryptography library or read the whitepaper for more information.” (skiff.com/blog/cloud-storage-with-encryption)
– but it’s not completely open source .. yet. Just Skiff Mail and the UI? I think I’ve read the rest will be open source too at the respective time..
On the blog they have a comparison with NordLocker (skiff.com/blog/cloud-storage-with-encryption). They say that NordLocker hasn’t any mobile apps. This isn’t true – but the apps may be not so good. The blog posting isn’t so recent because there’s no “essential”- paid tier listed for Skiff. The blog post date is in 2024, so the post date is incorrect.
When did the Locker apps come out and when the Skiff apps?
In Oct. 2022 there were Skiff apps for iOS (see the twitter post embedded here: skiff.com/blog/personal-cloud-storage). A while ago I tested the NordLocker app a bit.
On the blog post they say that Skiff has mobile apps.
If Skiff says the truth in this post they should have released the apps before NordLocker.
Regarding end to end encrypted file storage – maybe the service “Filen” is a good choice?
Hmm
Ok Skiff was first, at least on iOS … is that right?
Hmm
It seems that they use Mailgun (an email delivery service for sending, receiving, and tracking emails), look on the Android screenshot, the welcome-mail.
Andrew
We don’t use Mailgun. However, we do work with their security team!
Andrew
We reply to every request within 24 hours or try to give updates whenever possible. Also, our Android APKs are available publicly on our GitHub!
Andrew
We respond to support requests within a day. There are no hidden posts about F-Droid or improving support. The only time posts are hidden is when Reddit’s auto mod hides posts, which happens when spammy accounts post things!
Tall
Comparing the number of users probably isn’t fair right now, Skiff mail has only recently arrived. I’ve tried every one of the “other” email apps you list above, and Skiff mail is the first one that is a fit for me, all of the others have had one or two things that didn’t quite suit my needs.
They are certainly developing quickly for a small team. All the best to them
Anon
Add the cons of being US based
NJ
When did IPFS get based in the US?
Valter
The company is US based.
NJ
IPFS is not.
Andrew
US Based is better than German/EU based today. Look at chat control and what happened with Tutanota and adding a backdoor.
