- bmarashi, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Hi, this is Bijan Marashi, one of Xoopit’s founders. We’ve seen the comments regarding email passwords and privacy issues. You can think of Xoopit as a mail client, which makes it possible for you to access your mail data. We use industry best practices to secure our service and encrypt your password and have rigorous internal policies on the same.
You can learn more about how we manage your data on our blog: http://blog.xoopit.com/2008/03.....-mana.html
We are working with webmail providers so that we can reduce amount of data we collect and store: e.g. OAuth for credentials, not having to store attachments ourselves and more. We’re big believers in email as a platform. This is just the first step.- JesseJ, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Hello!
Can I get a invite code from you?
- JesseJ - - SteveMax, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2Sorry, but if I can't have your source and compile it locally (to make sure the binaries aren't tainted), you can't have my password. Call me paranoid, but I'd rather distrust by default and maybe miss on some good stuff than trust by default and maybe see my wife's pictures on the wild.
- ClassicQ, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1fixed the url: http://blog.xoopit.com/2008/03/how-xoopit-mana.htm ...
- JesseJ, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Hello!
- levitron, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3From the Terms of Use:
If you register and provide us with the address and password of the Email Account, you agree that we may access the Email Account in association with services provided by the Site (the "Services"). You also acknowledge and agree that we may from time to time, as necessary, take certain actions in the Email Account in order to enable the Services to function. These actions may include, but are not limited to allowing IMAP.
Anyone else feel a little queasy about this?- TheCure, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1No that's pretty standard. The service wouldn't be able to function without that permission
- Gnascher, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Yes, yes I do. I'm not giving my password out to any 3rd party service. Should I trust them simply because they say their nice?
I have personal information in my email ... can't give that out to just anybody.
Google is soon to release an API that will allow services like this to operate without having to give out my credentials. I'll wait until then.- alabut, on 06/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah, Google's Contacts Data API is out and I've already used some app that plugged into it (can't remember which) but I think it's so new that a lot of services are still using the old way that was getting pretty popular in the last year or two.
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
Hopefully this API (along with the developing OAuth standard) will help end the give-3rd-party-sites-your-email-password phase we're going through.

- TechBharat, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1I will install this for my parents. They will have less hassle opening individual emails to see the photos etc.. that we children send them.
- QuziQ, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0SWEET, LOVE IT!
- Gnascher, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Do you think it's wise to hand out the password to your email account? In this day and age where high profile data breaches are as common as sports scores in the headlines ... I don't really trust anybody else with any more data than I HAVE to give away.
Someone gains access to my Gmail account, they can learn a whole lot about how to be me. - k00pa, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Good one, but I don't use gamil webmail because it is too slow. Mutt and thunderbird are good systems and my mails are on my own private server.
- juliohm, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Good point.. For most people, you loose your email account, you pretty much loose you online identity. It's what you use for authenticating passwords for all kinds of services all over the net. Would have to start all over again from scratch with the risk of someone using your name for illegal purposes.
