No. but, I'll read about it.
Ok. I haven't started going into the specifics about the protocol implementation but its about encrypting the message end-to-end. It still does not solve the problem of ownership, privacy and ads. Having said that, If implemented we would definitely take advantage of the protocol.
Is there any large-scale email service provider who claims they own the contents of your email messages (i.e. own the copyright rights)? All they need is a limited license to do those things they must be able to do in order to provide email service to you (e.g. make a copy on their servers).
As for ads, if the message is encrypted from end-to-end, then even if they read it, they won't find anything useful for ad-targeting. I can already do that today by sending encrypted text via existing email protocols. Moreover, I can use an ad-blocker to block any ads they do try to send me.
The tricky part is keeping things like the address of the sender and the address of the recipient (i.e. the metadata) concealed from eavesdroppers.

#13Hi Guys, Sorry for keeping the click bait headline. I guess that's the new norm these days. I am working on email service prototype that is mainly focused on privacy. If you can spend 2 minutes for following survey. It is 2 question survey, takes less than 2 minutes to complete. https://docs.google.com/a/joday.com/forms/d/177YMHXbZiV5XK7U... Data privacy is biggest challenge of our time. Your personal data like email…
The clickbait headline is particularly annoying because it has literally nothing to do with the article. When a clickbait title is something like, "This Android trick will change your life", at least it'll give me an Android trick. Your headline is the exact opposite of what you're trying to offer, and you're not even offering it yet. You're baiting us into filling out a survey to benefit you. If what you're working…
got it. will try to be more explicit like ASK HN.

I believe no service claims of owning the email.
Also, you are right about end-to-end encryption. That would definitely help the cause.
