I started using hushmail before I found Trisquel and this forum. I paid for a
years subscription but they were providing a web based only (uses javascript)
account for free. It's Canadian, they say email is stored in encrypted form
and my Evolution setup is using OpenPGP. It took me a long time to figure out
how to use OpenPGP or enigmail. I wonder if there is a way to certify if my
email really is encrypted.
I wasn't really worried about governmental mass surveillance but I would like
my ISP to mind its own business. I'm not sure that email services outside of
US or EU law zones don't carry other risks. I mean what is the law in Russia
for instance, and does Putin prevent Russian hackers or even the NSA for that
matter running supposedly secure email services?
I like the post and will spend some more time looking up all your
recommendations.
