That looks interesting. But I wonder how well they implement all that. I'll take a close look when I have a chance.
Yet, when I click on the Get p≡p Desktop link it gives me an option to buy for Outlook. What am I missing? I guess you need to provide them your name and email address before you can get a download link, right? So where's the privacy in that?
Hmmm I don't know, I downloaded it from f-droid bundled with k9 mail it was just a regular free download...
For some more insight there is a presentation and explanation (1 hour) (event/hacker camp: SHA2017: Still Hacking Anyway) excerpts: Approach of pretty Easy Privacy Private keys can be synchronized (P2P) across different devices a user owns, such that all messages can always be read. Benefits of pretty Easy Privacy Users don't need to to anything for the basic p≡p operation: p≡p is by design zero-touch p≡p will be able to bridge to other channels, e.g. XMPP (unified inbox) Comparison to other approaches ... solve the usability issues of end-to-end encrypted communications in a very general sense and much more: Code: https://media.ccc.de/v/SHA2017-228-the_state_of_the_pretty_easy_privacy_p_p_project_and_what_to_expect_next
I did some more reading it appears commercial devs used the PEP project under licence to create the outlook addon. http://www.pep-project.org/2014-09/ I found this page from 3 years ago which if you scroll down to the section on outlook there is a pre release version of it for download that still appears to be active.
Thanks RockLobster. I don't actually have Outlook installed. I guess I was expecting a desktop application I could configure to use in my case Windows Live Mail. Anyway, I don't think p≡p is for me. Reading this thread did prompt me to change my account to use SSL ports though, so Kudos for that. Cheers!
