About Bote: Private Email on I2P

Privacy doesn't need to be hard.

Bote allows users to send and receive emails while preserving privacy. It does not need a mail server because emails are stored in a distributed hash table. They are automatically encrypted and digitally signed, which ensures no one but the intended recipient can read the email, and third parties cannot forge them.

Bote uses the I2P network to provide anonymity. An I2P router is bundled in the app, but if the I2P app is installed then it will be used by default. Get I2P: http://goo.gl/1YTfpV

It works as long as you have it set to remote router. I really like anything i2p related even if it doesn't always work. A few changes must be made on the Android i2p router before this will work properly. But I just wanna say this is not a normal email program it will not work for email addresses outside of bote and i2p. It's completely self contained, however the PC version has some support for outside.

This app works very well but you have to use the internal router. If you go into settings, select advanced, uncheck the router settings box so it switches from auto to manual, select internal router. It will take a short while to connect but the automatic error message you get when trying to connect to I2P Android goes away.

Installed both I2P and Bote, love both. Easy to use, stunning features, great GUI's. But I just cannot get Bote to connect to the network, tried everything. I2P indicates everything is okay on their side, although it says 'network firewalled', while I have no firewall. What to do? Will give 5 stars if I can fix this. KitKat 14.4.

UPDATE: I was able to connect to the network using internal i2p proxy. The app still does not work with standalone android proxy. Navigate settings, advanced, uncheck "auto" proxy config, select internal proxy. My Android router works as expected. I'm able to browse eepsites in Firefox. When I start Bote and press connect to network it shows error with cause "Connection refused" on domain socket. Tried multiple times, re installed router and bote. Nothing helps. Very unfortunate :( PS. I'm on Samsung S6, AT&T stock firmware

First experience: I hated it - I couldn't get my head around how this app works. The connection doesn't work (no matter how many times I try to switch from auto i2p or manual) frustrating! I just wanted to try out this app but I'm disappointed with it. I even tried sending an email to my Gmail account and all it says is message cued for sending -_-' it can't even send 1 bloody email and how ironic it is that it doesn't work nor fulfil its purpose :( really fed up and will be uninstalling asap - I DONT RECOMMEND THIS APP TO ANYONE ELSE, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME!

THE I2P APP IN THE PLAYSTORE REVELS IP ADDRESS, AND IS UNSECURE. SO THIS APP, BUNDLED WOULD ALSO FOLLOW SUIT. UPDATE, NO YOU CHECK THE REVIEW AGAIN. AS I RETESTED, AND IS STILL SHOWING IP ON WEB WITH AN I2P BROWSER. WHAT YOUR CODE MAY SHOW, ISN'T WHAT IT IS. SOMEONE DELETED IT IN THE ARCHIVES. FAKE!!!!GOOGLE COMPROMISES APPS FOR THE NSA.

I don't know why but i2p has always seemed more user friendly to me than the alternative TOR network. Needless to say I love i2p. However I have to report that this app just doesn't work. No matter what I do I just get a generic "error" upon further inspection it just tells me that it can't connect. I've tried changing all the network options and still "error". I'll be happy to use this when it's working.

I wish I could give this a higher rating as I really would like to see this work. Continually disconnects, trying to send to email address and continually says ERROR INVALID RECIPIENT ADDRESS. Can someone please explain to me how to fix that error message. Can email only be sent to other BOTE users? Connects than disconnects from I2p. I2p is hit and miss with Ultrasurf browser, most of the time does not work, very little time it does work. I am on nexus 7 2013 marshmallow. Where to go from here?

is it possible to import export addresses into the PC version?

Seems to work fairly well. Occasionally mail doesn't go through. You can't copy and paste in received emails. If it crashes sometimes it won't display any of the contents of your inbox or outbox or sent folders. It needs options for running only when plugged in and running only on WiFi. It doesn't connect to the network on moto x 2nd gen on republic wireless.

Good concept though and a well built app. Never really understood i2p all that much though on tor so maybe in time.

Couldn't get it to work until I installed the i2p app and was connected to Wi-Fi. I can't speak for other carriers, but on Sprint, I couldn't get a stable enough internet connection for this thing to be able to do what it does. Even on Wi-Fi, I had to be really patient and wait for it to get info about the i2p network, set up tunnels, all that. It took about 30 or 40 minutes for me. It's not fast at all, but seems secure.
