I did not want to search though all the docs, but can I send/receive skiff mail using mutt IMAP ? Based upon a skim, does not look like I can.

I don't really get why it needs crypto wallet integration, or how it's 'web3'.

Protonmail or other examples of webmail services that support encryption work with a normal user and password login.

Never heard of skiff outside of shady web3 coin stuff. Is this for real? Seems to be quite heavily promoted lately: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=skiff Got 5 upvotes in the first 5 minutes also. Quite a thing.

It's obviously low-quality paid placement. It can't even decide if "privacy" means "E2EE" (it's not), spam prevention, anti-phishing, or... strong passwords? Anyone putting this on a technical forum should be embarrassed.

Exactly. And it gained 5 upvotes in the first few minutes. Shady, it is.

It looks interesting but it's difficult to justify uprooting a significant portion of my digital life to a new company that may not be around for the long haul.

Despite then # of good Google product that have been killed off Gmail is still one I can be pretty sure will be around for a while. Not that I'd never consider switching, but it would need to be a well established alternative.
