What email should I use?

in #email8 years ago

With the current news of email providers spying on users it seems time to switch.


What email services does everyone use?

I already have a gmail but they also read it to advertise. What are good secure email systems? I know snowdens email service shut down recently.

Any suggestions from the steemit community?

@dennygalindo That is a great question, Recently Yahoo hit the news when they admitted to being hacked into, and agencies like NSA and GCHQ are always trying to collect everyone's information.

One of the best I’ve seen for Encryption and Free to use is proton mail https://protonmail.com/
Best advice is to stay away from the corporations Like Google & Microsoft, they all have backdoors and sell your info to 3rd parties.

Would be great if we could Up Vote this, so Everyone can see it.

self-hosted would be the best option (if you can).

maybe sometimes alternatives to email are applicable (bitmessage, retroshare, or just messengers like signal, telegram, xmpp/jabber).

Two votes for proton mail! Any others out there?
