Nope. From The Verge:

"Essentially, when signing up for the service you authorize LinkedIn to scan your emails. When its server detects a person with a LinkedIn profile, it adds in data to your email and sends it to you. It's a neat trick, but it also means that a third party is scanning all your emails."

“Collect too many things together, and you re-produce the conditions of chaos you tried so hard to avoid. When the act of collecting comes to take precedence over the microcosm of the collection, when the differentiation of things begins to break down: collectors cease being collectors and become hoarders. The hoard exemplifies chaos: the very thing the collector builds their catalogues in opposition to.” ---Daniel Rourke, ‘Kipple and Things: How to Hoard and Why Not To Mean’

As I read it, Intro gives you a custom email address, and only email
to/from that address goes through their proxy, and everything is encrypted.
And, they've removed all SSLv2. They're trying to respond to BF, as if
they're using BF to help beta test their product.

Yes, further examination of their structure is warranted. As I don't have
an iPhone [yet], and I don't see any need for LinkedIn profiling on my
email, I won't be pen testing it any time soon.

No, it’s still as bad.

Do you really want ALL of your email flowing through LinkedIn’s servers?

No f'in way.
