If you send email then yes, when it leaves our server it's totally under control of recipient server. And yes, they may scan it and use on their own discretion. To overcome that, you may try to use email aliases to communicate with people. And if they sign for SCRYPTmail account, you can protect your real email address from disclosing.
Is my address book within Tutanota encrypted?...Yes, all data within Tutanota is end-to-end encrypted and only accessible with your password. Scanning and profiling of your data is not possible..
This is a quote from "tutanota" mail...
The quote is true for SCRYPTmail too. Here is an encrypted email service comparison chart you may not have found yet - Compare - Encrypted Email Service Providers
Then if it encrypted how can another party scan the address book?
A 3rd party can't scan a SCRYPTmail address book..
What SCRYPTmail was saying is that if you send an unencrypted email outside their system to a 3rd party email address such as Gmail, then that Gmail user might save your email address in their address book on the Gmail servers.
Even if you use Secure Reply, and require users of unencrypted email services to click a link to view the email from the sending service, the recipient still could save your email address even if the email isn't located on that system.
To avoid that problem, you can use an email alias or disposable email address when sending email to a recipient who you don't want to know your primary email address.

I'm not a member of FB but if i were can they can the address book of scrypt etc be scanned like they do with g mail,etc,because they do scan for contacts in address books with the high profile e mail programs.
I should have added as an option, perhaps the best option, besides using aliases and disposable email addresses, encourage those users to create SCRYPTmail accounts.
No, there isn't an API that allows a 3rd party service such as Facebook, with or without user permission, to access and scan/import the address book of a users SCRYPTmail account.
Sounds good to me....
As many know some e mail providers scan the users address book for the purpose of data mining to connect the dots,as in create a profile on the user.I don't do social networking but FB,as well as others are known for such acts as scanning address books to to create a profile for data mining.

How does anyone know if scrypt etc doesn't practice the same as mentioned above.
Many services can promise a lot of things, be NSA proof, fight for privacy, etc.
All that statements, have very low value. What most important is to make sure people can learn about system as much as they can to establish level of trust. And if more and more people are saying some service is deserves to be trusted - is one of the major factors.
With that in mind, it's natural for people to gravitate towards open code/source projects, where you can see whats happening behind the scene, and be suspicious if project don't show their code, but proclaim how safe they are.
To protect our users, we encrypt as much as we can on client side using password, that never leaves your computer and never stored in our system. Basically it encrypts everything except information required to be send to third party servers. And don't take our word for granted, we released our code completely open for audit, and to proof we do what we said.

What i'm trying to find out is do any of the secure e mail providers protect e mail address books.
Hi @compleo,
This is the "Encrypted Contacts" line of the comparison - Compare - Encrypted Email Service Providers
I added (address books) to help make it stand out in case someone looks for address book instead of contacts.
Does that help to answer your question?
Please feel free to start a thread and list the yes/no status for these and other encrypted email services as you discover the answers.
Sender (such as SCRYPTmail) the senders address book is encrypted and safe from scanning -> Recipient (such as Gmail) the recipient's address book is not safe from scanning / subpoena.
Obvious difference would be knowing only your email address instead of learning all your contact listI'm quite sure the highest percentile use insecure e mail,so whats the sense of using a secure e mail when it is compromised due to the recipients insecure e mail.
