You don't really need to worry about power outages and uptime much. Mail
servers keep on trying to send messages until they reach their destinations.
They usually do this for server days. If a message doesn't reach for several
days, they notify back the sender, so no messages are lost.
Tor + GPG + sever in a country called Not America is the way to go. Running
your own server is okay, but very very very few people can or will do that.
Ideally, a system without severs in the first place would be best.
Distributed systems. Right now the only thing established like that is
Sorry for posting into such an old thread, but today I accidentally found
this video when searching for Blackphone on YouTube. I recall somebody have
asked why the Lavabit founder stopped using email, and this video contains
the answer:
NO EMAIL IS SAFE - Ladar Levison and Lavabit -

Which could mean that it gives the possible location at a given time. Or whom
one's discussing with.
(I'm not implying that it's meaningless at all, btw.)
A personal mail server seems tempting indeed.
One of the downsides (letting it on at all times) is actually a moot point
since it can run most of the year (with some hardware preventing temporary
power outage). A webmail can be a replacement when in vacation for example.

Scary stuff ):
That's why the best option is to run your own personal email server. It's not
free, but it's very inexpensive.

Not sure about this but that's ok

Well, on a second thought (not even sure there was a first one), I agree that
catapulting mailmen or other non-flying messengers (like dolphins) has very
few advantages. Specially regarding privacy. Oh well :)
Yeah, and remember: metadata is so informative that the US uses it to
assassinate unidentified people.
am i right in thinking as long as your email is encrypted
it dosent matter how you send it?
gmail hotmail lavabit it etc
That's really only half of the story as you're still leaking metadata. (who,
when, how often...)
