Anyone use start mail?

Just wondering if its as private as they claim.

If you want to go private do a Russian E-mail service. The NSA (shouldn't) control those.

https://www.yandex.com/
or
https://www.yandex.ru/

If you get an E-mail, you get both the extensions

username@yandex.com
&
username@yandex.ru

work for your E-mail. Just saying.

I'm a Beta tester, and like it, but I have never considered email "secure" or "private."

.com addresses are under the jurisdiction of the US Federal regime. They are administered by Verisign, which moved it's HQ from Silicon Valley to DC (15 minutes from the CIA) due to its partnership with the Federal regime.

Any .com address can be NSL'd.

Yandex Labs is based in San Jose, and it should be understood that Yandex was founded by at least one Jew, Ilya Segalovich (his partner and current CEO, Arkady Volozh, sure looks like one based on his nose). The .ru domain is "probably" more private, but, as noted earlier, email is, ipso facto, neither secure nor private.

Thanks. Didn't know. Are there any good E-mail services then?

Knowing someone with their own private email server is the ticket from what I gather, someone who has their email server handshake with the email server on the other end so any email sent from that server goes directly to that email server without broadcasting any sent emails all over the entire net making those emails extremely easy to intercept by just about anyone. That combined with PGP encryption would be a safe bet imo.

Then there's hushmail however I've not kept up with those encrypted email services so I'm not up to speed there. DYODD

I use smart mail/safemail and it works fine but it's fairly small in the free version, 3MB. I'd also add that I don't think there is any such thing as private email, at least not one that's available to us, maybe some tech geeks.

Runbox is probably the most secure from low-level government and private spying.

I imagine Start Mail will rival Runbox for the same purposes when it finally rolls out.

Hushmail will roll over on you upon command of the CSIS or Canada's "partners" in Washington:
