I know what to do
Traditional email is not secure.
Bote is a new kind of email.
When you send an email in Bote, everything is encrypted - including the email metadata. Only the recipient can download and read the email.
An outsider can only see that an email was sent, not who sent it. And if the recipient never publishes their address, the outsider can\'t even tell who the recipient is.
With traditional email, you need to trust a central server. And if it is blocked, you can\'t send or receive emails.
Bote uses a distributed peer-to-peer network, similar to BitTorrent. Encrypted emails are split up and stored with many other Bote users.
Because Bote is a little different to traditional email, there are a few things to set up before you can start using it.
The setup wizard will take a couple of minutes, and then everything will be ready.
Let\'s get started
Setup
Skip
Set password
You can set a password for Bote. This will prevent other users from reading your emails, and will encrypt all files on-disk.
If you set a password, automatic email checking will be disabled. You can manually check for emails once you have authenticated by pulling down on the Inbox.
If you do not set a password now, you can do so later from the Settings menu.
Create identity
To receive emails, you need an Identity. This is a set of cryptographic keys that enables you to encrypt and decrypt emails.
A Destination is the public part of an Identity. This is the address that you will give to your contacts so they can send emails to you. When you send emails using an Identity, its Destination is included in the From field so the recipient can reply.
If you do not create an Identity now, you can do so later from the Settings menu. If you only want to send emails, you do not need an Identity, because Bote emails can be sent anonymously. However the recipient will be unable to reply to you.
