Just read the “Threat Model” section of the website. They are working
to prevent mass surveillance,

Really? But they are going to collect 'metadata' about all
their users, no?

not to stop targeted nation state level
attacks against individual users.

well, it
seems too good to be truth.
Recently we"ve got a lot of projects like that.

Yes, there are enthusiasts.
A real good ones.
But we should also ask ourselves,
(except what tpb-crypto mentiond), who these guys are? Could they
be a project of... the NSA itself? Yes.

I read their security section. The first thing in my mind (i am not
tooooo paranoid:)) is that it is too good. It is absolutely free
WITHOUT any mention of donations. Not even a mention. Who supports
them? Can we trust him/it? Are they millionaires:)?
We see not even one word about the money.
Second of all, when you read their
security section, its like a honey for bees - it invites you. Its
ideal. Too much ideal. So yes, i rely on my feelings too, and there
is something wrong with that.

These guys are from Germany:

It seems to me a better choice (except the problem of the fact that
Germany has got its nsa=bnd and that they give everything to nsa)

In the end, we need to trust someone. But we dont read their
minds:). And it could be, after all, a big fall.

We"ve got pgp. Thanks God.
But a 100% reliable and bulletproof email provider?
No.
