I guess my point is that unless you have the machine in your home nothing really changes: They shake down the hosting provider and they are in.
In other words, what's the difference between buying email service from GoDaddy and renting a VPS from them to host it yourself?
Not being critical at all, just trying to understand if there's something fundamentally different about Mail in a Box that makes it more government-secure than other approaches. The description seems to list privacy from government snooping as the primary motivator. Is it truly effective at that? If so, why and how?
As I understand things the very idea of being secure from snooping is an illusion so long as your email is on a machine that you don't physically control in your home or office. And, even then, the best you can do is encrypt all traffic to make it more difficult --not impossible-- to capture your data.
