Neither is Lemon. It's an email service provider, which is what I was talking about when I mentioned email content being scraped.
Tuxman:
So your quote was wrong in the first place. My own mail server
* has no content scraping,
* has unlimited users for less money per month,
* grants me full and open source end-to-end encryption,
* can also handle my mails to mom.
The only thing it doesn't have are buzzwords like "zomg blockchain". Because, really, WTF.
Enjoy your inferior third-party service, dudes. 8)

This quote (with plenty of context around the "scraping your email content" that this discussion is in response to)?
I think this is a pretty clever new email service.
First of all, Lemon features end-to-end encryption so that no one--not even Lemon engineers--can read the content of your emails, except of course you and the intended recipient. No scraping the content of your emails to better advertise to you or gather personal/private information. In fact, there are no ads in your email period. "The way it works is that the passphrase you use to unlock your emails is not saved anywhere / on our server and therefore even our engineers cannot read your emails. (Don't forget your passphrase!)"

What part of that mentions SMTP/IMAP? Other than saying the password isn't saved on their servers, no part of that description of Lemon refers to "servers" at all. I was clearly talking about a "new email service."

I guess the "email" part.
Because, you know, an e-mail service without support for SMTP and IMAP (or POP3 (lol POP3)) won't really serve any e-mails.
From what I can see, Lemon is "a blockchain" which can also speak IMAP/SMTP over servers when required. Sorry, but there is no way to send a valid e-mail without a valid e-mail server. The website is incredibly shady about that. I can understand why.
Security by obscurity, huh? Come on, trust them! :Thmbsup:
