Duh! Obviously the Government is demanding access to every single bit that goes in and out of their servers.

LOLwhats next ? it will ask web based email providers to do the same ? android devices also have similar servicesthis country is really turning into a banana republic

android does not have an encrypted mailing service. it uses regular pop/imap. so that's different.

i am afraid that soon our government would ask gmail/twitter/facebook to disable HTTPS for indian users

i am not sure if microsoft exchange is secure/encrypted. that might become a target soon enough.

also. android does not have its own messaging service like BBM. that has been another issue for the indian government.

That monitoring won't read traffic that's encrypted between a cellphone and Nokia's servers (unless Nokia grants them access to it's servers).

What if one has encryption at the email server hosted outside India and the email client on his computer.

 

[Sushubh]

if the data passing through your system and the server is not encrypted, it can probably be bypassed. i am not sure what happens if you use stuff like PGP in your email client.

It doest matter. The people who vote the most and constitutes large percentage of total votes dont even know the meaning of email id.

Email thing is working fine on my Nokia device. Is it weird?
