Haven't gotten to the end of this thread yet, so cannot say for sure what you missed, but here's some email stuff not listed above: Truelymail Standard 5.0.14 Free Mail Commander 10.61 http://www.bytefusion.com/products/ens/cryptoanywhere/whatiscryptoanywhere.htm www.spacejock.com/ymail.htm www.pmail.com https://quickforget.com https://privote.com http://info.burnnote.com www.mobrien.com/encrypted_mail.shtml www.emaildiscussions.com - whenever a new email provider or tool pops up, this forum is usually the first to mention it.
Based on the criteria of that article, safe-mail.net is every bit as safe as everyone's darling hushmail, and unlike it, safemail does not require constant handholding and reassurances. Hushmail will close your account if you don't check in about every two weeks. I've gone months without checking my safe-mail account, and never a problem. When all else is about equal, I prefer to avoid a high maintenance relationship. If you're using the darknet, or engaged in high-risk activities, it should go without saying that its time to employ extreme measures, and avoid normal email providers!
@SCRYPTmail: Il like the webmail you provide, and I already use it. My concern is that I can't open this webmail with some privacy feature enabled on my browser (currently FF). For example,although I can log in my google or yahoo account with JonDoFox or when using FF with the addon Random Agent Spofer, I can't log in scryptmail when using one of these. It seems that the "protecting window.name" or "spoof If-None-Mactch" 'Etags) feature breaks the loggin procedure, so that in order to log in ScryptMail, I have to globally unprotect window.name and globally let my browser send identifying Etags...It's really a pity, and very paradoxical for a service devoted to anonymity and stealth.
Here's a couple tidbits I stumbled across: http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/23/dmail-makes-your-gmail-messages-self-destruct/ http://www.self-destructing-email.com/self-destructing-email/about.asp http://www.destructingmessage.com/ Not sure how they fit into this thread...maybe 'amusing' category?
There are really two different privacy options. 1) from LE and 2) from advertisers/corporations. I prefer 2) as it makes life easier and number 1 is just too hard and too inconvenient to achieve especially with today smartphones. I used to use runbox account located in norway but now I have switched to fastmail with US based server. Still pretty damn good protection for advertisers.
I saw a few people mentioning Yandex. I used it for a while, and eventually moved on. The service wasn't bad, but has anyone noticed that they use Office365 services for disk.yandex.com? When trying to edit a stored document it triggers Word Online with attempts to connect to office.net and live.com. Also as far as email goes... remember that the sender, recipient, and subject are usually up for grabs regardless of encryption. Right now I've got accounts with protonmail.ch and tutanota.de. Both are okay, neither are great (yet). It really depends on what you're looking for. We've become so accustomed to these complete "cloud" pakages - google apps, outlook, 365, etc. (email/calendar/cloud/office) - and as far as I can see there isn't anything that really makes the cut yet. So far mailbox.org is the closest to offering a complete cloud solution that incorporates some amount of privacy. The cloud is great... nothing wrong with it (there's a lot wrong with it). Just remember that cloud=compromised privacy.
Ruggedinbox.com seems to be having problems...not sure what kind. Been down for couple weeks, then yesterday I managed to login using a Euro-based proxy. Trying to reach the site via Google failed. Trying to reach the site via American-based proxy had also failed. Today I tried to login using the Euro proxy, and now it failed. Seems fishy to me!
Update to my previous post. Ruggedinbox is still down, and I think DOA. Users of Ghostmail.com should note that like hushmail.com, they require constant handholding and reassurances (i.e. you have to check in every few weeks or so, or they will shut down your account). Good riddance I say!
Sorry to revive an old thread but I recently came across Sigaint. Found it strange I couldn't e-mail sigaint addresses from Gmail but could do so from other providers. And I'm not talking about the onion e-mail address but the normal net one. Anyone experience similar?
I don't use Gmail, but I do correspond with folks that use Gmail. I have been switching over to sigaint more and more. For my many Monikers the onion side of their house is smooth as silk! I want to create a more generic sigaint address to use with my real name friends. Gmail users, can you connect to sigaint for email? Could it be that Gmail is blocking sigaint on their system?
Well, Gmail blocks many mail servers, from time to time. But sigaint is well established. It could just be about spam.
Just to add my That's just my two pennies' worth; I regular use Tutamail and Protonmail One of the main items I like about the above is that they 1. Do not need your name; your address; your date of birth; or your IP address when initially setting up an account 2. Everything is encrypted so at no time can anybody read your emails anywhere on the server 3. When you delete an email it is gone in real time; there are no backups anywhere stored in servers for weeks; months or years 4. The software they use is completely open source (I think Protonmail is but am not 100% sure; I am sure of Tutamail software but you could double check this easy enough on their website) so this means it's open for inspection 5. They both have a fee paying model which then subsidises the free service side meaning you can rely on the fact it's going to be around for some time to come whereas many totally free sites cease to exist after some time
And since two weeks Protonmail can be reached via Tor (https://protonirockerxow.onion - Javascript is required for logging in):
mood, Nice to know. The onion option eliminates many flaws in our current CA structure. My non-REAL NAME usage for all monikers is 100% onion!
Regarding Scryptmail: Discontinuing of service October 26, 2019 https://blog.scryptmail.com/discontinuing-of-service/
But kind of expected. They never reached a user base big enough, especially when compared to mainstream privacy focused providers like proton or tuta.
