and our doodle film explains the benefit and risk.

Using the feature does not forbit to set up a "real" PGP end-to-end-encryption. Users should do that and our job is to help them -- step by step. And we're explaining that to them.

Our encrypted INBOX is useful in case an e-mail hasn't been sent encrypted, because there ARE many senders (like companies or unexperienced users) that do NOT encrypt their e-mail. That's how it is, so we have to deal with that. It's a kind of "add on".

Right today round about 10% of our inboxes are completly encrypted. That's great, but we'll still have to raise that level. An: > 10% of our users are familiar with encryption in their daily e-mail-usage. -And they will explain that to friends, business contacts and family. The usage and knowledge of encryption has to grow -- and having an encrypted INBOX is one (!) step to it.
