Freedom \ Liberty \ Patriot \ Constitution Mail would be very effective in blocking political speeches and biased headlines from cheap attacks.
My personal favorite is Lincoln Mail... Seems highly appropriate on many levels and should be FOX News proof.
- StavrosK 13y agoAs a European, something called "Lincoln mail" would give me a bit of a rash...

- femto 13y agoSome of those suggestions lose their punch when moved to a non-American context. I'd argue that the name should work on the assumption that it is the defacto standard, and so there is no need to distinguish between "normal mail" and "new mail". It should also contain a possessive pronoun. (Something like "YourMail", if not already taken?). With such a name, when someone attacks the mail service it will be difficult to avoid attacking the person, as an attacker will have to attack "YourMail". Attack the person and the person will react. Not distinguishing between normal and new will have two effects: 1) It will seem a normal thing for the uninitiated to use it. 2) In the case of an attack, it will be easier for people to say the attack is directed at themselves, since the generic name will draw people in, rather than letting them dismiss it as an exclusive club.
- vidarh 13y agoNot only lose their punch, most of them sounds untrustworthy and cheesy in a non-American context, as we are very much used to Americans tacking on "freedom" or "liberty" to disguise the opposite.
- danudey 13y agoAs a non-American, all of these terms remind me of irritating American flag-waving rhetoric (the kind used to justify the types of things that the NSA is doing right now, for that matter), and I would wager most of the world would feel the same.
- ics 13y agoSo why not use multiple brands? I don't think the name is to be taken lightly at all, and naming it in such a way that doesn't make it such an easy target could do some real good. They just need to bring the tech, and then we can have a whole laundry list of names suitable for different languages/cultures.
- flogic 13y agoAs an American, I agree. I'm more in favor advertising the confidentiality angle.
- hackula1 13y agoRMail (short for ReaganMail). The optics of hacking it would be similar to burning a pile of bibles in the Reagan Library.
- Toenex 13y agoHow about MyMail because it's mine to give, not yours to take.
