For the ultimate in privacy and security, I would suggest setting up your own private server at home, preferably in your bathroom. If security is ever breached, causing you to get into legal difficulties, just say that you can’t recall anything, and, anyway, there was no “intent” to do any harm. Be sure to use a DOD-level deletion program such as BleachBit if your records are subpoenaed, just to prove that you didn’t mean to obstruct justice. Oh, and don’t forget to change your name to Hillary Clinton so that you can avoid any culpability.

“”just say that you can’t recall anything,””

Better - it’s not your house and it’s not your server. It’s not even your neighborhood nor is it your state...

Thanks for posting that mail.com and GMX.com use the same format. I was confused by that when I set up mail.com thinking it was the same as GMX.com - which was my intent. Couldn’t believe an IT guy would recommend mail.com with all the crap I’ve had with that account! ARGHHH!

“Is this a different email account than the messaging mail to “private replies”? I didn’t know that.”

I think it was intended as a joke.

Very cleverly written, lol. Bravo.

Kinda depends upon what you want from your email. Do you want POP access, or is webmail o.k.? Do you use IMAP? Do you want email forwarding?
I have used pobox.com for about 18 years as an email forwarding service. I basically use it so that if I change my internet provider, I dont have to send out a new email address to my contacts. How a forwarder address works, is that you might have an address like zeugma@pobox.com. when people send email to that address, it gets automatically forwarded to my ‘real’ address. I dont even know off the top of my head what my ‘real’ email address is. When I change providers, I point pobox to it, change my email clients to pull from the new location, then forget about it.

www.fastmail.com

Safe, SECURE, located in Australia.

Neither law enforcement, or and of the 3 letter "alphabet" organizations have any access to your emails . Fastmail will not simply roll over, automatically submit to their coercive, gestapo tactics and cough up your information. If they want it they have to submit a warrent in writing to a judge in a court of law in Australia for review.

If the judge determines they have no genuine LEGAL reason to read your emails or access your account their request is denied and they are told to "go pound sand" and Fastmail refuses to cooperate or acquess to their illegal demands!

Because of what I do for a living (see my FR profile), I have been using Fastmail since 1994 to protect the annonimity of the staff and faculties of the schools I teach in, along with privacy of my students for our mutual protection because they are located throughout the former Soviet Union.

Fastmail is outstanding!

When you donate there is a box to check. If you are a monthly donor you wont see it unless you re donate or ask the mods for an email account..

Well, can't really comment on the other options that have been mentioned thus far in the thread. If you'd like to take a look at the offerins at pobox, check out their features page. I've been using them since February 1996, and haven't had any problems with them. They are apparently an Australian company now. Think they were bought by 'fastmail' at some time in the past.
