nice, I use Roundcube a lot for new clients looking to set up their email for the first time. Glad to support this project, and really stoked it has PGP.

As far as I understood Mailpile is a mail user agent, so not comparable. Roundcube runs on a server, Mailpile runs on your own computer.
"You can [then] access it over the network using your web browser" https://www.mailpile.is/faq/#wha-2 seems to challenge your knowledge. I don't know if using it so compromises privacy in unexpected ways, or indeed even works satisfactorily; I am not a user.
It's designed to run on your local machine and be accessed by your browser. You can run it on a server if you like, but the give-away is the fact that it only supports single users — the original conception was for personal use.
I heard they're moving in the direction of supporting multiple users, which will be fantastic. Then you really can use it as a proper webmail client for a small email server.

It doesn't require Windows. It's a web app . . . that is pretty rough.
I don't think you can run the web app on linux.
Based on what?
I run the web app on my Linux box for Calendaring and sometimes email.
Most of the time I use mutt with imap for email. But I run the web app 40+ hours per week.

Thanx for the update, I tweeted them repeatedly, never getting any reply. It looks pretty bad that the last tweet is so old. In the meantime, I've been using Nylas N1 (local mail client) and ownCloud mail (webmail), both have become pretty good!
Thanks for the kind words! (I work at Nylas.) We actually have PGP support coming soon as well. ;)
Oh, thanx for the product! One question, I just read here on HN that Nylas stores certain data on Nylas servers. I actually thought it was just a local mail client like Thunderbird (only better looking and more modern). It's not very clear from the website what exactly happens to my mail and login credentials, do you have some pointers?

I used owa from a linux box now ... it works pretty decently.

Can you get a free S/MIME certificate? Even if you could, S/MIME leaves you dependent on CA infrastructure that's often state-controlled.
StartSSL [1] and COMODO [2] still offer them (of course, there's still the CA compromise issue you mentioned). Keep in mind, however, that a hierarchical, centralized trust model can still be useful (e.g. in medium-to-large organizations, where having an internal CA and delegating identity verification to a few knowledgeable employees is more practical than having everyone build a web of trust).

Sure, but it's easy to build that kind of model on top of OpenPGP (just have an organizational signing key and tell everyone to trust that), whereas it's almost impossible to build a CA-independent model on top of SSL.

I am talking about hosting the application, of course you can interface with the web app from whatever.

#69I wish someone would do this for S/MIME. S/MIME has native support in many MUAs, even Mail.app on iOS. http://smime.io/ https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/4977
Is S/MIME really that widely used? It seems to be sort of widely deployed, but not necessarily understood or required by users in secure environments.
yes. And it's already supported in many clients without plugins, many companies just sign their mails. You probably don't even notice that if you don't know where to look. It's very unobtrusive compared to gpg.

It's widely used in US government/military. DISA runs key escrow for users' encryption keys that are carried around on smartcards.
