Yes, I was notified to, along the lines of "we are a large multinational Internet company and we are too gawwwdamn dumb to run a mailserver".

I can't remember where each of them is located, but if you really care, any provider under USA jurisdiction is out of the question. I suggest you look at Posteo (http://posteo.nz/) first (or any other TLD of them you prefer, like posteo.net). https://posteo.de/en/signup They're doing everything right: * Top-notch privacy. They don't keep log files, they don't have to. They don't ask for your name, they're not obliged to. Payment info is deleted as soon as they know what mailbox it's for. If you don't like that, walk into their office, tip a bucket full of cash onto the counter, say "this mailbox" and walk out. They don't care. They don't have to! * Top-notch(!!!) encryption, based on public standards only. (They screwed up all of Europe's email industry's encryption plans for propritory crapola. Funny to watch at the time...) You won't find any company offering something better. They were the first to enforce strong ciphers (dumb old PC? connection failed...) * They only use FOSS. I understand all their sources are for download. * They employ lawyers to protect their customers. It's hilarious to read their transparency reports. (Cops: "Hand us this data". Posteo: "You are too dumb to write a formally correct request. FXXX OFF.") * Pretty good value. Green energy data centre yadda yadda if you care. It was founded by a couple who aren't in it for the money, but for the principle. Steeply accelerated growth since Snowden... There aren't enough companies like that, they deserve support. > Or is my logic flawed? No!!! Everyone else's logic is flawed! You're the first I come across who isn't publicly declaring their personal worth as $0.00 with gmail post vodafail...
