If memory serves me having -s in the account name made it impossible for me
to register. Perhaps you're having a case of just that.
Great, I'm glad to read this.
Parabola for the YeeLoong is not bleeding edge, it's unmaintained with

In my experience, YeeLoong 8101B used ~12W of idle power. Several ARM

The FSF's only criterion for listing email providers is that they have to be
usable without any non-free software, and for that mail.ru qualifies. Perhaps
mail.ru snoops on your emails, but if your emails are unencrypted, that can
be true of any provider. That's why you should use end-to-end
I use Runbox. They're based in Norway, which gives a better legislative
framework than many countries, and their servers run on renewable hydro
energy.
https://runbox.com/ and https://runbox.com/why-runbox/email-privacy/ for
privacy info.
Personally I run on Fastmail.fm, it is fairly decent service (great
interface) and I haven't had any issues to deal with so far. Yes it is paid
but it seems fairly capable as far as I can tell, also offers very basic web
hosting (no scripting) on the $40 plans if that interests you.
Thanks to FSF for creating that page, there are some good services mentioned
on it. But mail.ru shouldn't be there. It's just a Russian equivalent of
Gmail and as far as I know it was also a target of NSA's XKeyscore program.
Hey did you take a look at A/I?

After reading your posts I changed my mind. I decided to send an account
request to either riseup.net or A/I.
Leny is right, email can't be gratis. So private email providers, those that
don't sell their users, are either paid or at least ask for donations. I
prefer donating to riseup or
I have used openmailbox.org for a bit less than a year and for webmail it
does its job well and provides enough storage that I haven't had to pay for
added storage yet. They also provide Owncloud, but I don't use this.
The only issue I have had is that I can't get their jabber server to

I have tried on multiple occassions to sign up for OpenMailbox, but each and
every time, after registering, I can't log in. I would love to use a service,
but it has to actually work for me.
Since I'm not a whistleblower, I don't need an anonymous email. Besides, I
don't think that complete privacy is possible with emails.
For example, even if I run my own server and even if I encrypt everything,
what if the person I sent the mail to, decrypts it and forwards it to someone
I know someone who is using posteo.de and he seems to be quite happy with it.
Sorry that I can't provide any deeper insight.
Good list, thanks for sharing. There's also

probably all have fat pipes going to NSA...
Some points:
- What's your problem with riseup and A/I user base mostly being
activists? That's not a good reason not to use them.
- $61.80 is _not_ expensive for an email service which even the
goverment where it is can't legally pry into. Two coffees a month -
come on!
- You can use
I'd honestly look into getting a cheap single-board computer (like a
Raspberry Pi, but that's problematic freedom-wise) and running your own
mailserver from it. It's the best way really. There are even some nice
webmail projects in the works - take a look at mailpile.is. It's beta at the
Running your own mail server on one of these

(i.e. a Lemote Yeelong at a = singleboard price) is a more freeom

Thanks for sharing your opinions, people.
leny2010, I have no problem with riseup and A/I. They've been defending
freedom and privacy of their users for years now and I have huge respect for
them. However, there might be some people in the world, who need riseup and
A/I accounts more than
I tried the demo version of mailpile and I liked it to be honest. If my ISP
won't mind it, I'll try running a mail server as soon as I find an extra
computer.
Your ISP shouldn't mind, so long as you're not providing email facilities for
other people. If it's for personal use, you should be fine.
I believe the main difficulty with running your own is to get the recipients
to accept mail from you. I think this would make a nice wiki page if somebody
has the experience to make one.
If your ISP/webhost runs an outbound mail server then you can use a 'Internet
Site with Smarthost' type set up which avoids this problem[1]. Then for
inbound use something like fetchmail (but not it - unfixed vulnerabilities
according to /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/*) to get the contents of a
If you think about it, leaving riseup A/I to activists fingers them for
attention from the authorities if there aren't a good number 'ordinaries' to
bulk the user base out.
I appreciate $61 p.a. isn't two coffees for everyone, everywhere. Back in
the early 90s a colleague who'd worked in
Oh, and I forgot to mention - testing all the email setup variants in order
to make the wiki page accurate would be beyond most people's resources
(different types of ISP / email server setup). So a wiki page would always
be less good than STFW for your own particular setup.
The FSF has a list of email providers that don't require non-free JavaScript:
