Hi The (sometimes delicate) subject of using services like GMail and Yahoo Mail vs. free + autonomous email services has come up a few times lately among fellow free software advocates. Short of running our own email server at home, I think using a commercial service where free open source software is behind all the infrastructure, or efforts are made to go that way is coherent with what we advocate.
What services are available that meet such criteria? I personally use Dreamhost, and in our immediate environment, local to Montreal there is Koumbit.org (not directly a webmail provider, but becoming a member gives among other things an email account). Of course the FSF also provides this when one becomes a member. I'd like to find other alternatives for people that are not considering membership of any of the above yet. I'd like to hear about alternatives, and how to help others deal with this dilemma: gradually replacing their current email provider with one that respects freedom and works the same or better than their service. Thanks in advance, Fabian Rodriguez http://fsf.magicfab.ca --
