Because I was testing the service, I used the desktop app's approval method to sign in. Warning: Using a password to sign in will not sync the existing mailbox (from another device) to the new device. That's because the decryption keys for the older mails are stored on the other device.Ĭriptext's Special Features Syncing the mailboxĬriptext syncs the mailbox between devices, so if you send an email from your phone, it will sync it to your desktop program's sent folder (and vice-versa). Incoming emails are delivered to all devices. Attachments have a 25MB size-limit, but there are no limits for the number of attachments. You can unsend an email that you sent to a contact you have up to 60 minutes for this. While I like the Unsend mail feature, I feel having a one-hour limit is a bit much. Also, this works only if the email has not been read already. Read receipts are supported in Criptext, i.e., you can tell when the recipient has opened your mail.įrankly, I'm not a fan of this. The recipient deserves a bit of privacy too, fortunately you can turn off "Read Receipts" from the Settings. I initially thought the mail service uses a header or something for this, but I'm quite certain that this feature is available because Criptext uses the Signal Protocol (which is intended for instant messaging).ĭoing so will also disable read receipts for mails that you send to others. You can backup your mailbox locally on the device or store it in the cloud manually. The backup is encrypted with a passphrase that you specify. Two-factor authenticationĮnabling this will require you to enter the password on your next sign-in, and approve it from a device that you're already signed in to.įor more information, you should read the official FAQ and Privacy Policy. The reason I haven't reviewed the desktop mail client is because it's nothing special, it looks and functions like your average mail client. ![]()
