Has anybody used HushMail [0] or ProtonMail [1]? How does it stand against both free services like GMail/Yahoo or paid ones like FastMail? [0] https://www.hus

  Hush user here for 2y already. I've the desktop paid account and I'm very happy with it (POP+IMAP) They seem to be more privacy oriented than popular ones. Web UI is nice but maybe not "so nice"? (I do not use it so freq.) Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_providers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_provider...

  I'm a paid Hushmail customer since 2010 I think. Their web interface is sub-par and sometimes it's pretty slow to connect. I was thinking to change for Fastmail but they're a bit more expensive and the mails are stored in the US I think (I'm French). I'll probably investigate this in December when my hush subscription is due.

  Hushmail should be considered compromised. They have turned over plaintext emails to US law enforcement in the past.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail#Compromises_to_email_privacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail#Compromises_to_email_...

    Thanks, this is interesting. So, ProtonMail [0] and Tutanota [1] appear to be better choices. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProtonMail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProtonMail [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutanota https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutanota

      On the data-privacy front, you may also be interested in Unseen[0], which has servers in Iceland, and Lelantos[1], which routes over Tor. I haven't used either service but they've come recommended. ProtonMail looks interesting. [0] https://unseen.is/ https://unseen.is/ [1] http://lelantoss7bcnwbv.onion/ http://lelantoss7bcnwbv.onion/
