- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

It looks like it has exactly the same pitfalls as every other proprietary email client.
Not that open source email clients are all much better, because email isn’t very private. Even if you encrypt your messages, a lot of metadata leaks. Most encryption solutions don’t even encrypt the subject line, because it too is stored with the metadata.
