+ One file holding your mail, contacts and server info for moving to another

- what is in the file, and is it safe?
- It is sealed to this identity: only a browser with this secret restored can
- open it. It deliberately leaves the secret itself out — that belongs in a password
- manager, not in a file in your downloads folder.

+ rotations
+ Issues a fresh key from your secret with a signed
+ certificate proving it replaces this one. Contacts accept the change from that chain, and
+ the old key stays readable. Rotation is not revocation.
+
+
+
+
+ log out
+ Removes this identity from this client entirely: the
+ secret, pins, contacts and every cached message. Without a backup of the secret there is no
+ way back in. Mail already fetched here may have no other copy anywhere, unless "leave mail on
+ server" was on. Whatever is still on the server comes back on the first fetch after logging
+ back in.
