No one can, but isn't that the case for all software?

At least it is Free Software with reproducible builds, so you can audit the shit out of it.

Using Tor onion services that get exchanges when adding a contact nearby via WiFi or Bluetooth. If adding over the internet, a rendezvous service will be created.

This should be fixed in the next release.
The article says: "All the issues found by the audit have been addressed in this beta release."

Re:Kolab - private email, recommended by Groklaw's last post on Tuesday August 20, 2013 @07:48AM (#6243026)
Here's what PJ said:

If you have to stay on the Internet, my research indicates that the short term safety from surveillance, to the degree that is even possible, is to use a service like Kolab for email, which is located in Switzerland, and hence is under different laws than the US, laws which attempt to afford more privacy to citizens. I have now gotten for myself an email there, p.jones at mykolab.com in case anyone wishes to contact me over something really important and feels squeamish about writing to an email address on a server in the US.

There is also https://mykolab.com that PJ now uses:

There's also https://mykolab.com hosted in Switzerland. What's more: It is 100% Open Source, so you can host it yourself decentrally.

That's already happening. https://MyKolab.com for example is heavily playing the hosted in Switzerland card.
Re:Lavabit abruptly shuts down on Thursday August 08, 2013 @05:08PM (#6181932)
I'd recommend https://MyKolab.com It is 100% Open Source and hosted in Switzerland where the world's strongest privacy laws exist.
