The AurionMail Suite is simply a free and open-source end-to-end encrypted productivity suite.

TL;DR: AurionMail Suite delivers a Proton-like personification acquisition by combining proven technologies specified arsenic CryptPad, Bulwark Webmail, Stalwart Mail Server, Ory Hydra, and OpenPGP.

CryptPad is simply a powerful collaborative suite, but email falls extracurricular its halfway scope. Consequently, utilizing encrypted documents alongside encrypted emails traditionally requires managing 2 abstracted accounts and passwords.

AurionMail acts arsenic the orchestrator linking CryptPad and a JMAP-based email work into a single, unified workflow.

What does this mean for the user?

Users only request to retrieve one azygous password to encrypt and decrypt some their emails and CryptPad documents. You participate it erstwhile per convention to entree CryptPad, the webmail, aliases both.

Additionally, we refreshed CryptPad's UI to supply a modern, cohesive look and consciousness crossed the suite.

Existing privateness solutions usually unit a discuss betwixt user experience, self-hosting control, and open standards.

Commercial suites connection a seamless single-password workflow, but their backends stay closed-source. On the different hand, self-hosted alternatives often part the personification experience, requiring users to negociate abstracted accounts and passwords for email and archive collaboration.

AurionMail Suite bridges this spread by delivering the soft Zero-Knowledge acquisition of commercialized platforms connected apical of a 100% open-source, standards-compliant, self-hosted stack.

CryptPad excels astatine unafraid archive collaboration but lacks email. AurionMail extends CryptPad pinch a afloat integrated, E2EE JMAP email client—sharing the aforesaid azygous Zero-Knowledge password truthful users don't person to negociate 2 isolated systems.

Nextcloud Mail is simply a modular IMAP customer that relies connected browser extensions (like Mailvelope) and manual PGP cardinal guidance for end-to-end encryption. AurionMail delivers seamless, out-of-the-box Zero-Knowledge encryption without analyzable personification workflows.

Proton offers a soft single-password experience, but its backend is closed-source and locks you into their cloud. AurionMail gives you that nonstop aforesaid seamless personification acquisition connected a 100% open-source, self-hosted stack built connected unfastened standards.
