Thanks for the add Dave; it's good to meet you
Could anyone compromise the site? Will the compromiser be able to log into
my account and see who my friends are?
I only have two xmpp buddies right now so it's not that big a deal. Unless
the hacker impersonates me.
But it doesn't cost anything to care about privacy in principle. And I'
>So ... I just read this:
What that basically means is you should use unique passwords for each site.
When a site gets compromised, they cannot use your stolen credentials to
access your other accounts on other services.
I just added toro...@jabber.at to my xmpp group; am wx1gd...@jabber.org.
I've done voice and text xmpp chats with pidgin; empathy should work,
too.

Thanks guys. I decided on jabber.at. I don't have friends on xmpp at the
moment, so it's kind of lonely! I'll ask a few friends to try it out. If
anyone wants to add me, my username is toronto
Sorry... Uh... Perhaps your email client was configured to automaticly
encrypt your messages. I sent test emails to my mother's email address, and
she read all of them in another computer with no problems,
I even sent an email to a Russian, and she also read it with no problems.

Well, pretty much what everyone has said.
You can wait for Jabber.org to have their servers back online.
You can become a member of Trisquel which will give you (among other things)
an XMPP account.
You can use Riseup.
YOu can use lavabit and have both email and xmpp.
From my personal experie
I actually did apply for an e-mail account with them, and they did grant me
one. It is true, I could confirm, they do encrypt messages, I send an e-mail
to my dad and he told "i CANT READ WHAT YOU WROTE IS ALL GARBLE"

Lavabit also privides an XMPP account when you register an email account.
You can use Riseup.net.
Besides getting a XMPP account, you get an email address. I can't confirm if
it has voice or video calls because I haven't tested these functionalities
yet. Also, Riseup.net respects your privacy.
The registration process can be done using two ways:
- Asking for two

Locally. This would be the most secure. Here's a list of servers, along with
their licenses:

-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-
Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)
Most peoples' first choice seems to be jabber.org. I guess that's because
they were the first. But their registration site is down at the moment.
Can you recommend a place to make an account?
I may want to use xmpp for audio/video calls later, so a site that supports
that feature would be
