TenFour - Yes, I agree.

Is Kolab considered a "larger" operation? What about Runbox?

There are other reasons I won't consider Proton Mail. Have you heard of Charles River Ventures? They're ostensibly an American investment firm. In 2014, they pumped two million dollars into Proton...

To coin a phrase, "Oh, dear." I'm sure Tutanota is a well-intended effort--I appreciate the concept. Unfortunately, it won't meet my needs.

I'd like to investigate other options. I'm particularly...

Hi, Csin -

Perhaps this question is naive, but I've never used the "dark net." What types of e-mail services could I expect to find, and what assurance would I have that they're as trustworthy as...

Hello -

I'm currently exploring different webmail options, as I'd like to escape from Google's vile clutches. ;) I've seen several comments here that suggest Runbox is expensive. Well, maybe--except...
