Well not sure about Sunbird. Beeper advertises this also but it’s not entirely untrue. It’s E2EE from the sender to your Beeper server, where it’s decrypted, then re-encypted as a Matrix message. But it’s all open source so you can see what’s going on.
You can get around this vulnerability by hosting your own Beeper server.
While it’s a good solution, it is entirely untrue. A message is either End to End Encrypted or it is not. If the message is decrypted at any point between the sender and the intended recipient, it is definitively not End to End Encrypted.
E2EE means it’s End-to-End Encrypted. If it’s decrypted at any point during transit then it’s by definition not E2EE and Beeper shouldn’t be making that claim.

It’s not though. It’s still encrypted from beginning to end. It just changes encryption in the middle.
You can’t change encryption in the middle without decrypting, however briefly.
It’s encrypted at the beginning and at the end, but NOT from beginning to end.

Except you’re not because your decrypted messages aren’t stored anywhere.

Good points all around
Then it’s not E2E encrypted.
One end is your device, the other end is the other device. It’s only E2E encrypted if it is not decrypted until it reaches the other device.
Yes. It is.

How does one host their own beeper server?
Edit: found it
