Also realise that, taking lavabit, the emails were unencrypted before they reached lavabits servers. Its like someone writing you a postcard, by postal mail and then when you receive it, you put it into a top secret high security vault. Kind of silly since the postcard was readable by all before it reached you.
GPGP on the other hand, is like the sender writing the postcard in code, and mailing the encrypted postcard.

Ack!
But my point is to find now a reliable new emailprovider in the vein of lavabit. All other techniques to become a secure email itself come later. First the bullet-proof-mailprovider has to be found.
