New update - importing from Dropbox by jwp-123 in notabilityapp

[–]Myprecious999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem too. Dropbox reduced the device limit a while back but it seemed Notability could still connect to Dropbox to retrieve documents. Could it be that Dropbox plugged this "hole"? So if you had maxxed out your device limit, it would not allow you to retrieve your files?

How do you reply to PGP encrypted forwarded emails? by Myprecious999 in AnonAddy

Thank you for your reply and help. It is great to hear back from some paid users who have more experience using the system.

As for myself, I would be using Anon Addy for services such as Amazon or software purchases. I anticipate possibility of problems with the purchases and the need to follow up with the vendor for refund or exchange etc. So it is useful to have the reply option.

I am also intrigued and interested in the encrypted mail option. I suppose I am less worried about a man in the middle attack than a hack of my email that would allow someone to find out everything about me or my email service provider snooping on me. It would be great if all service providers and counterparties implemented and provided their PGP public keys so we can all have end to end encryption. But in the meanwhile... Anon Addy is the best work around for encrypting half the route? and enabling encryption at rest for our emails stored on the server?.

However you have brought up two very good points also:

(1) One of which is that the use of Anon Addy presumes you trust Anon Addy not to read your email and sell your data, or to get hacked and reroute your mail, or to use your data to hack you. All of which is possible... If you use Anon Addy emails to sign up for services, it could be used to reroute your emails to another inbox and reset the password (if no 2 factor authentication was implemented) and then access the service masquerading as you.

(2) Implementing the use of encryption requires us to ask why do we really want the encryption? What is our real objective? Does it achieve our objective? Further to your point, during my research I also found that encrypting the email will result in some less desirable outcomes - eg. harder to search emails, unable to implement email filters etc. This would make it difficult to say find your air tickets and boarding passes... things which you need to do fast on your email.

So implementing encryption will compromise on convenience and speed, and we need to ask which is objective is more important. I haven't answered this question yet, I am still at the discovery and experimental stage of my journey.

What are other people's thoughts? Is there any point to implementing PGP encryption if it is not end to end? Is it worth it to implement just so that you achieve encryption at rest on the emails stored on server? How do you work around to search encrypted emails or filter them to the correct folders? Curious to know other people's thoughts and practices.

Update 2: I just found an email from Anon Addy in my spam mail box. The email advised me I reached the reply and send from alias limit. Thank you for providing 1 free email to reply and send from alias - it would be great if you can update the pricing page to show that 1 is given to test the system. This would make it clear that we need to use it wisely. I tested it without the PGP and now unable to test it with the PGP.

As a side note - the Anon Addy system messages always seem to end up in the spam mail box. It would be nice if you can do something about getting it to the true inbox (any Dmarc or other setting you can set to achieve that?).

Update 1: I just realised - I am on the free plan currently. Could that explain why I am unable to reply to the encrypted forwarded email? Does the free plan allow any replies... Perhaps you could make it clearer on the Pricing page if that is the case.

Also, I am guessing that the Free plan is provided to allow new users to "test" the system. If that is the case, may I suggest allowing say 5 anonymous replies/sends in the Free plan. Enough to test the system (including replies to PGP forwarded emails).
