Living in Switzerland and knowing the laws, I would strongly recommend against that: since 2000 we have a law that forces all email providers to hand out communication logs to the authorities and to retain them for at least 6 months.
Granted: that's not the message contents, but it's bad enough. Also, from my experience I can tell you that the authorities do make use of this law even if it's just to track down a student anonymously badmouthing their teacher.
No. Stay away from Switzerland if you want your correspondence to be hidden.
- tripzilch 16y agoThat data-retention law is for the entire European Union. 6 months is the EU minimum, but for some reason the Netherlands decided to require triple that. I bet some idiot politician thought it must be "extra secure" ... :-/
