--network=mainnet  or a testnet you are working on.
--private-key-encoding=mnemonic/algorand is the encoding used for supplied private key
--private-key is the 25 word mnemonic phrase of your account to be able to sign and decrypt messages.
--key-type=ed25519 (for Algorand).
Mailchain stores your private key/ mnemonic phrase in an encrypted format, a passphrase is required.
Enter a non-guessable passphrase, and again to confirm it. You must remember your password to decrypt the key later to send or receive messages.
You should never expose your private keys mnemonic phrase to an entity you don't trust.
Mailchain stores your private key locally, in an encrypted format. Your private keys are never sent anywhere. They are only used to decrypt messages data, and sign transactions.
