FAQ

Wouldnt leading with the “Sending” section be a better place to start the “How it works” section bitmask.net/en/features/email

Its better to start from the users point of view then the platforms point of view which i found confusing.

Anonymous VPN explaination needed here bitmask.net/en/help/vpn/android

Lets add a link at the bottom of this that explains the difference between anon and non anon usage. I didnt see this in the /features vpn details section.

All links that go to leap.se should indicate this.

I think there should be a 3rd level nav for the landing page.

So when i click on help, i think it would be more clear if there was an “overview” link selected in the left hand nav.

Add “Install extenstion and restart Thunderbird” to the Bitmask Thunderbird Extension Section

bitmask.net/en/help/email/#bitmask-thunderbird-extension

  1. Install Bitmask app and register for an account.
  2. Install the Bitmask Thunderbird Extension. From within Thunderbird, select the menu items Tools > Add Ons… and then search for “Bitmask”.
  3. Install extenstion and restart Thunderbird
  4. Once the extension is installed, you can add an email account from the Thunderbird menu item File > New > Bitmask Account…

Fixed

Bitmask Help Screenshot Additions

leap.se

leap.se – the for users section on the home page should link to bitmask.net.

It should say “We have created Bitmask, an open source application to provide easy and secure encrypted communication.”

Fixed

bitmask app

in main window of bitmask there needs to be a way to launch email clients.

  • Bitmask Mail launch
  • Alternatively you can configure your own mail client. Link to how to page

Preferences panel, when emai service is selected there should be an email icon in the left column.
