Q: 1.
If my laptop is in the hands of someone else will it be a threat to my account?
2. Can I change the account recovery email? If not why and if yes how?
3. If someone else comes to know about which keys of my account, then it will be a threat to my account.
4. Is there encryption on the messages sent and received from the alias?
5. When the telios Android app comes, will that app be able to use it like other email apps like Gmail, Tutanota, Proton Mail or will it be different?
6. Can the namespace be deleted?
7. If I have created a namespace in my account, can the same namespace be created in another account?
8. Can an alias be regenerated in my account after deleting it from my account?
9. After deleting an alias from my account, can that alias be generated in another account?
10. If I have created a namespace in my account and for some reason my account is deleted, then what will happen to the namespace in my account?
i) Will that namespace be deleted as well?
ii) Can that namespace be created in another account?
Please Reply Honestly 🙃

May 14, 2024A: 1. All of your data is encrypted at rest. If your laptop or personal device is stolen, the attacker would still need to know your memorized master password to gain access to your account.
2. Eventually yes, but since recovery feature has not been released this option is not yet available in the client.
3. The only way someone could get the keys to your account is if you gave them your memorized master password. Your private keys are encrypted at rest on your device.
4. Emails are encrypted with XSalsa20 stream cipher. More info about encryption used can be found in our docs here https://docs.telios.io/encryption.
5. The mobile apps will "feel" very similar to other email clients, in that you don't need to do anything special to take advantage of the decentralized network. The biggest difference will be your email account can not be accessed via SMTP credentials like similar email services.
6. Not currently
7. No, namespaces are account bound.
8. Sure, alias can be deleted and created again
9. A used active username on Telios won't be available for someone else
10. Right now yes. But once we’re out of beta, we will likely make it so that once an alias or name space has been used Even if an account is deleted we would not allow for those names space or alias to be registered again
1.) For now, yes but you won't be able to delete that in the future after BETA
11) If the namespace is available, sure it can be created in another account
