They would invent an entirely new mail protocol to make encrypted mail work. It would probably go like this:

1. User writes recipient address.

2. Server checks the address and asks mail host for encryption key.

3. Mail host sends encryption key

4. User continues writing email.

Similar to how UDP https works.



5. Only works on M2 Apple hardware (ps. major functionalities only supported from M3 Pro devices)


Also expect it to require using Apple's MUA to read your messages


Will still be cheered on as revolutionizing the world.


> an entirely new mail protocol

I'd call it Wave
