Introduction
Email sucks, but for now we have to use it.
What do you need to consider when choosing an email service provider? First of all,
their privacy policy, that is: what data they collect and store about you and for how long, as well as with whom else they share this data and under what conditions.
It goes without saying that this information should not be blindly trusted - here are some of the warning signs: little and understatement, too assertive, "corrupt" talk about "confidentiality", contradictory information and arguments.
Always try to find information on the Internet about possible scandals and punctures related to this or that provider!
Other important criteria: support for mail programs (mail in the browser is disgusting, you don't control it); the ability to register via Tor / VPN; whether the services are paid or free (and although it is better to pay for good mail, rather than suffer with a bad free one, don't worry - the best providers on this list provide services for free).
Another thing to worry about is the guarantee that the provider will not disappear - if a particular mail has existed for 10 years, it is safe to say that it will last the same amount.
A mail server with a single Internet provider is like a time bomb.
What about encryption? In my opinion, the built-in encryption is just an illusion: There are many ways to do this, but nothing will replace PGP with your private keys.
And, of course, built-in encryption requires browser-based email, whereas PGP can be used using email programs (some, such as Claws Mail, even have internal support).
In this topic we will discuss and offer anonymous email services.
