The Best Email

[kindsty]

So i did a little digging and found this to be the hands down best/safest email around right now

https://protonmail.ch/

Thank you k. It can be another option for members. And it's Swiss. We all know about how secretive they can be. Gotta better that Yahoo, Gmail....

The only drawback with these free sites are the bells and whistles. Who cares it's free.

I will give this a go tomorrow. It says to set up on laptop /pc and ominously states it would crash the browser on my phone.

 

[headbanger]

At least they warned you, not bad for a freebie.

 

[PTFC]

Yeah, will report back tomorrow on it.

Right this one is very good I guess take a look at what Forbes says about them,

Well, i've requested an invite to the beta, so will wait and see what happens

Safemail or countermail... However, the latter is not free....

~P~

 

[PTFC]

I haven't heard anything from yon protonmail yet either.

Either is the first one anymore.

Listen cheap skates. The friggin amount of money we spend on product is so much more that finding a good secure service that won't roll over for the govt. Plus they has some far more sophisticated security features that yahoo or gmail or whatever.

These other services aren't completely secure but they are far better than the frebbie's above. Countermail is 60 bucks a year and rated as of the best with it's encryption keys. You guys decide.

I just set up a Safe-Mail.net email adress for free right now. Or have I perhaps signed up to a similar sounding provider, hmmmmmmmmmn, quick thread recap I think....

EDIT: Looks good to me, same email as a vendor, only 3mb space, but that seems fine. HB has thrown out some MEGA sound advice there in his post though.

Cheap skate?! ... Ha! I like it : ).. No fucking about, good on ya HB!.. You couldn't be more correct... The price of a secure email provider does pale in comparison to what we all spend on our 'goodies'...

Countermail is king.

I've used this one:  www.dipostable.com  It is a disposable email account and totally free.  You pick your user name and it ends in @dipostable.com.  You can pick how long you want to use it for.  2 weeks, 6mo.s whatever and after that time it disappears.  You can make as many as you want, as often as you want.    I've always had good experience with this.  Been around for years.

I went there and they can not accept new users

For protonmail if you're willing to donate 14E you can get an account right away. I read recently they sustained one of the largest DNS attacks ever in Europe & came through OK (no one hacked their encryption).

Great topic, opened a email address and will be using it from now on.
