I think it is inaccurate. The concerns of lavabit and silent circle seemed to be about unencrypted email.


Their concerns are not about unencrypted email, they refuse to install eavesdropping equipment in their server rack.

You can encrypt your email all you want but it's not encrypted in the space between your load balancer and your app server.


I think in general "encrypted email" refers to end-to-end encrypted email which of course does not have that problem.
