Let's make bounty program for PGP in Aqua Mail

What do you think? Should we start to collect some extra money for Costa and pay him when he prepare PGP support in Aqua Mail?  :)

Looks like PGP is for him like garlic for vampires. Don't think that money would change that. ;)

But I'm in, waiting since years for this... :(

It's not a question of money.

There is only one developer on this app, and he is the world's slowest (maybe it's the typing, or maybe it's the brain), and handles support as well.

And there are still things which I consider more important than encryption (I'm sure that not everyone will agree -- but then those other "things" are needed by somebody else too and are important to them).

Right now I'm looking at push mail for Exchange.

In a corporate setting, nobody wants to be the last person to reply to a group email. Very very important.

The way things are looking - push for Exchange is most likely going to be a "pro only" feature (wonder how many 1-star complaints I'll get for that...)

To add my (probably not most typical) opinion on this:
I am very conservative about purchasing of apps. E.g., I am not spending many dollars on games.
But in this situation, I think Push for Exchange would be very appropriately a feature of the paid version of the app.

Here is my thinking behind it:
Exchange is typically a part of a business environment. If one wants PUSH (very few people actually need it), - that person can afford $5.

Of course, this applies to the countries with a more or less developed economy (US, Europe), where people pay almost as much for a cup of crappuccino.
Maybe I am wrong, but I doubt that people who cannot afford it (in countries with very poor economies) would need PUSH in Exchange.

But on another hand, - the sense of entitlement is omnipresent these days. So, I wouldn't be surprised about 1-star complaints. I still think your decision is correct.

Money are money. If we collect a lot of them, for example 5000 $, Costa change his mind up and give us PGP. Maybe Patronite project?
