A group of Icelandic developers named Mailpile are looking to raise money on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to help build a free open-source email service that is aimed at privacy. Their
goal is to produce an email platform that runs on your desktop or through the cloud that implements encryption that will keep emails protected from surveillance. They are hoping to raise $100,000 to
