I believe Skiff would automatically start using end to end encryption when it was available, without any user needing to enable it for any specific email, using the Web Key Directory standard: https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/blob/1634bea9d2a66ef5804b68d18d4218e0b7a8b806/docs/email.md#openpgp-compatible-services
It's not good for me that an email provider that supports that is undergoing dramatic changes, as an open standard that protects my privacy is more useful when it is used with more services.
I mean they are just shutting down completely. Notion is not coming up with their own E2E solution, they are just acquiring them to kill them, probably because skiff pages was a light competitor. I don’t know if it’s the founders or investors of skiff who pushed this decision, but it’s a sign of the shitty system either way.
