Does anyone care about having a secure email account? One you can be fairly sure cannot be hacked or otherwise intruded upon? I do.
Secure email: ProtonMail is free encrypted email.
Based in Switzerland and set up by a couple of guys from CERN, this is a free email account which is end to end encrypted between Protonmail users. IN their words
Also, you can expire your emails. From *all* mailboxes, not just yours (again, between Protonmail users.)
Theres no POP3 or IMAP but the web interface is attractive, and v usable.
The base storage is only 500MB but if you get an account before June 17 they are offering 1GB which is a tad better. I think they plan to offer paid accounts sooner or later. I'll likely take one up. I'm sick of selling my soul for free gmail etc. and once I have a reasonable storage space, thats where I'll move to.
It took about a month before I was offered my account, they have a long waiting list. Anyway, I think its well worth getting, and it doesnt cost you a bean to try it out. There is a ton of information on the website, its worth reading and then making your decision about whether its for you.

Only you have access to your inbox - this means no advertisers, governments, or third parties gaining access to your data. With ProtonMail, you can ensure private communications stay private.
Also, you can expire your emails. From *all* mailboxes, not just yours (again, between Protonmail users.)
No email or phone number required to create your account. No IP logs which can be tied to your username. We respect your right to privacy.
