It goes on, if you want to read the whole paper you can find it here.
If a user reads their email on multiple devices, trackers can use that address as an identifier to link tracking data cross-device Since a tracking cookie can be shared with traditional web trackers, email address can allow those trackers to link tracking profiles from before and after a user clears their cookies. If the leaked email address is associated with a tracking cookie, as it would be in many webmail clients, the privacy risk to users is greatly amplified. The majority of these leaks (62%) are intentional. A 2017 paper from Princeton University researchers revealed the extent of the problem.Ībout 29% of emails leak the user’s email address to at least one third party when the email is opened, and about 19% of senders sent at least one email that had such a leak. While an extension of what happens on the web at large, email tracking is potentially worse for violating privacy. With all the talk of web tracking, I’m surprised I don’t see more about the tracking that goes on in email clients. Protect yourself from Email tracking with CanaryĪ feature I really appreciate in Canary is the ability to block email trackers. But, securing the content of your mail is not the only security concern with email clients. If you need serous encryption for messaging, use Signal. However, nobody should be relying on email for genuinely sensitive information. Using encryption is simply a good habit, and something an app like Canary can help with. It is probably worth reiterating the point in my post yesterday, about the recently discovered PGP and S/MIME exploit. End-to-end encryption is automated when both sender and recipient are Canary users, or can be initiated manually when sending to other clients. It makes encryption more user friendly by integrating with the MIT and Keybase servers. but doesn’t work for a curmudgeon like myself.Ĭanary’s thing is security. Unibox is a contact focused client, which might be useful if your workflow is focused on particular people. Boxy looks pretty, but it’s designed for Gmail, and I gave that vice up some time ago. Setapp’s other email clients don’t work for me.
The latest improvement is the addition of excellent, security focused email client Canary Mail.

Setapp can meet the software needs of a large majority of Mac users, and the collection is constantly improving. From inception, the apps included in a membership were always impressive. Subscription App Store, Setapp, is one of the first things I recommend new Mac new users these days.
