Eppie

What Eppie is
Eppie is an open-source email application from Tuvisoft OÜ in Tallinn, Estonia. It works with conventional email accounts, including Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Proton Mail and other providers through IMAP and SMTP. Eppie’s signup creates a BIP39 seed phrase for keys, while its homepage describes ECDH email protection. Encrypted data is fragmented across a decentralized network, and the seed phrase can restore data and app settings. The project README also lists PGP encryption and encrypted local backups. Stable releases currently operate as conventional email clients with additional security features; decentralized functions are available in testnet builds. A July 2024 tutorial used an Azure-hosted testnet for decentralized messaging and described it as not yet a real decentralized network. Local AI processing of email is presented as an early proof of concept. Desktop downloads are listed for Windows, Linux and macOS, while Android and iOS are marked work in progress.
Who it suits
Eppie suits people seeking open-source email with conventional account compatibility and added encryption features. Users interested in decentralized messaging should note that those functions are in testnet builds.
What it does well
- Open-source and free
- Supports major email providers
- PGP encryption and local backups
- Seed phrase restores data and settings
- Available on major desktop systems
What to know first
- Decentralized features remain in testnet builds
- Android and iOS are work in progress
- Local AI is an early proof of concept
- Products are not offered to under-18s
Verdict
Eppie combines familiar IMAP and SMTP email with seed-based security, PGP and encrypted backups. Its decentralized messaging and mobile coverage are less mature than its stable desktop email client.
