Even if he does the encryption may be flawed through access to the private
key (through something running at ring -2 or -3). Speaking of which: I would
rather trust Google because they have surely done more about removing iME
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iffTJ1vPCSo) than Kolabnow. Here is an
excerpt from my email question and answer to Kolabnow:

It is not something that will happen soon, but we are learning to ride
the bike.

But I don't read anything about that bike here:

So it is again - a gimmick which would attract only people who are
technically ignorant and willing to buy the trendy "free" and "privacy
respecting" things.
Personally I was quite interested in migrating from G.Apps to Kolabnow but I
am reluctant now (+ their service is much more expensive).
