Which webmail provider?

Which webmail provider do you guys suggest and why? Thanks. Im looking primarily in terms of security and privacy.

 

Dregg, With the knowledge you have gathered here, you could easily write Security Wikipedia and be an Guru .

BTW, if you are looking primary security and privacy wouldn't the "privacy software" sub-forum above be good choice for this question?

 

Hi,

take a look at this thread:

and poll - Trustworthy E-mail provider/service (privacy policy):

HTH,

 

GMX is the best show in town, I've been using it for a decade:

http://www.gmx.com/

 

Hi pinga, GMX looks cool so I've made an account.

But why doesn't it use ssl by default like gmail? I mean gmail uses https whenever you try to log in while GMX uses http only by default. Guess I've missed something here.

 

Am I the only one that had problems with the gmx webpage being oversized?
I couldn't access all of the buttons on the bottom.
Other than that, I like gmx a lot.

 

Just add an "s" to it: https://www.gmx.com

 

I see. That's why I ask if it's better to use https by default.

 

I would yes, it eliminates MITM situations and better security/privacy. The only real downside is https is slower than regular http but that's a good trade off for added piece of mind.

 

Thanks for your response everyone! I have made my decision.

 

Unfortunately, I am unable to click links in email messages using GMX.com.
This is a known issue that still has not been fixed.

 

Drum Roll................and your decision is?

 

I'm still curious. The forum really doesn't serve its purpose when an OP asks a specific question and the OP responds that they got their answer but doesn't provide the info. That's more like a PM system.

Who did you select? Why? What makes it more secure than another? Without these answers shared (this is a forum!), the original post serves nobody other than the OP.

Spread the info around!

 

I am also eager to know which webmail provider did the OP choose?
