Yes, the safe assumption is that Apple reads all your mail. Not that any other provider is better---most are probably worse.

I don't think they read all of it. Probably just metadata. But would be good to know what's being sent.

For a company who hangs their hat on privacy, it is a dang shame that their native mail client can't support PGP/GnuPG. I mean it'll do S/MIME, but who uses that regularly.

  • Figure they do it for three-letter agencies who’re not in my threat model, otherwise I’d have to spend much time busying with… Whonix? Tails? Qubes?

    And lose/reimplement my Universal Clipboard and AirDrop and iMessage… (so yeah I deserve consequences of my love of convenience)

    Though the more Apple fails to choose the good soap the more I should worry https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49074631

    • I don't think you have to look far nor hard for a mail-client that doesn't communicate with the developer because you send an email...

      Universal Clipboard, AirDrop and iMessage - is that really the value add of apple? iMessage... do we really want to encourage that behavior?
