    Would it be possible to have a solution where a server running 24/7 acts the same as the client does now to be then remotely accessed by the user/owner from different devices? So not in a way where it’s a server where peple can register creating centralisation but one person node in a form of dedicated device to allow high uptime and thus availability and little friction? This would be of benefit for everyone contacted by and contacting a person with good availability as there would be no place for delayed/missed messages.

      PeerBox was designed to offer the highest level of privacy possible by cutting out every middleman. That does come with a little less flexibility than regular email, but you have several options. You can install it on a Raspberry Pi or any small machine that stays on, which gives you near-permanent availability. You can also simply agree on a time window with your contacts for message exchange. And actually, we’re considering releasing a VPS-compatible version soon, which would do exactly what you’re describing. Stay tuned!
