Pleonasm Its the rich feature set that I think Kagi has an ability to help with. A more private Superhuman, or a more feature filled Thunderbird. A better Mailspring. Or some combination of all that linked to a subscription service I already pay for. These are things that are very valuable.
I say this as a business and personal user of Proton for eight years. The tradeoff between the highest-levels of privacy available and productivity are real. In some circumstances (such as mine used to be) the legal and practical requirements for the highest level of privacy are strictly necessary, so you accept the productivity hit. But that isn't really the case for all users everywhere and there's space between strict privacy/limited productivity and no privacy/high productivity for Kagi to enter.
Another example to look at is what Element One does with matrix and IM bridging. It allows you to merge in one place all your messaging apps, including Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram and Matrix, with a decent degree of privacy, though recognizing that the bridge acts like a man in the middle, weakening the end-to-end encryption. Is that ideal privacy? No. But it sure helps with productivity in a major way to have all chats in one place!
As I say, my primary request in that regard is for Kagi mail to be more about the client (web and/or desktop) than the mail server itself. Apply what Kagi does in search and AI (inc translate, summarize and assistant) into a webmail or desktop client into which I can bring whatever email I want (save Proton or Tuta which are more locked down) and I'd be a happy bunny!
