Email aliases , pgp and e2ee

I was actually about to post about this myself. In my case, I tested Addy.io + Proton, and the issues are the same as with any alias provider: the email arrives unencrypted at the alias provider and is only encrypted when it reaches your final email provider. PGP support is important for providers like Mailbox.org and others (including Gmail), though I believe it’s less critical for providers like Tuta, which encrypt emails regardless of PGP keys. For me, what would be ideal is having a PGP key for emails arriving at the alias itself—not just for the final mailbox. This seems like a limitation inherent to how alias services work technically. Personally, I find myself questioning the value of an “encrypted mailbox” if the email content has already been decrypted somewhere else—in this case, at the alias provider. At the end of the day, it’s the old truth: email simply wasn’t designed to be secure.
