Luckily we do have a fair amount of white hat hackers out there looking over the commonly used encryption protocols that I don't believe that they themselves have been compromised. Instead the NSA, FBI, HS, local police, etc all use viruii to infect endpoints that they want to surveil
As long as the implementations are open source. Open source is the only real protection against the government.
But then you have to trust the compiler that you are using to not insert a back door into your product... (Didn't we have a topic about this a while back?)
Yeah, it was an iOS compiler in China. People were downloading a bootleg version of the compiler instead of paying Apple huge money for it.
Man, at the point Apple should have made the compiler free. They should focus on making money from selling apps in the store, not the compiler.

We did. And we can, thanks to... open source compilers!
But you still have to compile the compiler... but the software that compiles the compiler must be first compiled by a trusted compiler.... and so on to infinity.

Slightly un-derailing this thread -- Are you still enjoying the Email Client? lol.

So far, so good.

How does it stack up with say... Evolution?
-
Haven't used Evolution in forever, but last I knew Evolution was a pain to connect to Office 365. This was as easy as signing into Office 365, which I have to do every day or so. This is great.
-
No calendar yet, though. I really hope to see that soon.

It has been a week and I am liking the Nylas N1 client more and more. I have gotten used to it and am not instinctively going to my browser any more for my email. Having one client for multiple emails is very nice, makes things easier when you have more than one account to manage.

eh? You didn't have all of the email accounts connect into a single central account?
-
Like having them all go into OWA?

exactly. I do that with my O365 account now.
For other people, they use gmail as their primary, and have gmail either get the emails, or if the other side allows it, all messages are forwarded to gmail.
-
With the issues I've had with O365 email delivery, I'm glad that I didn't do that. Not that it would have been tragic as they still would not be stored there, but still a pain.

Only because of your issues - but if you didn't have issues, wouldn't have been the thing to do?
-
Maybe, but I DO have issues. It's been lke five months, it's still being worked on.
-
Latest update has provided a unified mailbox for all of my accounts. Still getting used to it, but I already like it a bit better than before.
-
Does this mail client link with calendar, contacts, etc? I've never had any of the hard times with outlook you mentioned.

No, currently it is only email. But doesn't matter much for me as my calendar doesn't really work in Outlook either because of Microsoft doing so much damage to my account. It's there but it is full of other people's stuff and not mine, so it is basically useless. My secretary is my only calendar these days.
-
Since I originally switched, N1 now has multiple mailbox in a single view, which is a nice improvement over a few months ago.
-
I do have some interface things that I don't like, like what seems to be a forced conversation view, I hate that. It makes following a conversation rather hard. But the system gets email super fast, I get N1 notifications faster than GMail or O365 can show messages natively!
