A Letter to a Public Key: Rethinking Email Address Ownership | HackerNoon
Briefly

Traditional email services do not allow true ownership of email addresses; users essentially rent them from providers who maintain control. This can lead to loss of access due to account inactivity or provider decisions. Examples include Google deleting inactive accounts and Skiff shutting down with user data access ending abruptly. Email is crucial for digital identity, containing important personal information. Eppie addresses this issue by enabling users to fully own their email addresses on a decentralized network, eliminating reliance on a central authority.
In traditional email, you don't truly own your address - you rent it. Providers control it, and critical decisions can lead to loss of access.
Eppie allows users to create and own their email addresses, ensuring they remain active on a decentralized network without provider lock-in.
