Q. What is the preferred email setup for security?
« on: December 28, 2012, 04:41:08 am »
Hello All,


I was curious if someone could help me out. I am looking at securing all email communications server to server (incoming and outgoing SSL), having PGP support but also having all metadata and IP info nonexistent when sending emails. I know gmail provides PGP support (IMAP & POP3) and SSL for outgoing and incoming but when then it gives your IP address and metadata info. Tormail.org doesn't encrypt its outgoing SSL but with thunderbird + enigmail it supports PGP and it hides metadata and IP info. But with tormail - no one really recognizes the mail and so it probably won't be as trusted. Ideally, I would use gmail with POP3 (wipe it from their server), thunderbird + enigmail + PGP but it gives my machine's IP - sadly.


I want usability + security which has always been a long struggle. I will be using this email for sensitive communications. I want to try to make it a "free" email provider to not start a paper trail but it may not be realistic without getting my own mail server - which isn't going to happen right away. Any ideas? What do you use and why? Thanks!

Is this meant as P2P communication?

If only say 2 or 3 people are involved there is no need to use E-mail at all.

No, with it I would be contacting over 50+ individuals.
