> You don't trust your email provider?
It's a luxury those days, with email providers snooping over messages to show your advertisements and all sort of TLAs snooping just because they feel so. There is some buzz about end-to-end encryption out there for a reason, and the reason is a lot of people don't trust their email providers.
But I reasonably do. I'm hosting my email myself, on the hardware I own, located on my own premises. Although I may get hacked - one can't be ever sure they won't - most modern systems are too complex for any single human to grasp and sometimes bad things just happen.
But I don't trust my domain registrar and the network. DNS may get poisoned/spoofed, network may be tapped and traffic redirected, registry or nameservers may get hacked or subpoenae'd (ok, I'm not a criminal, but who has a protection from powerful authorities if they suddenly decide they want you?) and whatever else.
