I'm only just hearing about the suite from skiff.com and curious if anyone here uses it. They've been around for 3 years and apparently offer an open sourced encrypted suite. They're mainly known a Google Docs alt, but I just learned they offer encrypted mail, calendar, and cloud (10GB for free) along with their docs. Sorta blew my mind as I'm pretty acitve keeping up with privacy news. Is it just cause I use Cryptpad this is news to me and its some folks go to?

I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.

Skiff isn't compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it's an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.
