Re: [Trisquel-users] Own-Mailbox, the first 100% confidential mailbox

No, it doesn't change the fundamental nature of email. You can't do that  
without breaking email. The Freedombox that Eben was talking about could also  
very easily run an SMTP server too just as the OM does. That the OM is only  
intended for email and the Freedombox more general doesn't make it less good.  
At the same time nor do I say it's a magic bullet that magically solves all  
problems. To the extent that it helps people move their email off of third  
party services like Gmail's "untouch by human hands semantic analysis of your  
email" as Eben put it (even if it's "just" one -- email) and back into their  
home then that's good and helps with the issues Eben was talking of.  
Encouraging decentralization. Imagine that everyone is equivalent to their  
own mail server.
