Most secure email provider ?

@rasenove,


I have it encrypted on a few external drives and whenever I need to sign in - I just decrypt it and sign in. I have all my accounts done like this - except throw away accounts.

Did you keep an account to recover other account passwords? Becaus if you didnt and if you lose your external HDD ,  then your doomed.

Yes, I usually have two accounts - one for use and one for recovery. However, it doesn't really matter because if it is important I save it for offline use.

hey op I get what you are saying about the more popular a webmail provider is the more likely it is to be hacked but I offer you that mabye the reason that they are so popular,
is because they have gone for a long time without being hacked because they
 have enough of the money to have a high grade system and software.

and yeah gmail FTW!!!

I've heard that Google scan all e-mails for keywords, if something interesting should pop up, they intervene.

I'm not much of a conspiracy guy, but this is quite interesting.

To be truly secure, you need to have the incoming/outgoing servers encrypted with SSL (gmail does this), PGP support for your actual messages sent (public/private keys) and all IP and metadata hidden from source of the emails. Thus far, I personally have not found a way to combine all three. Anyone here know how to?

Gmail actually only encrypts between Gmail to Gmail or after you have already received the email
In the middle it is not encrypted

This might sound a bit off but it might be best not to use E-mail at all when you need strong protection.
For the largest % of communication strong protection isnt really required, who gives a damn when your going to have dinner with your grandma.
Thus > E-mail.

For stronger protection I suggest sending p2p with strong encryption.
If you want security you musnt rely on anyone's crap but your own, its that simple.
Its no different from puttting your letter in a mailbox.
