I started using hushmail before I found Trisquel and this forum. I paid for a
years subscription but they were providing a web based only (uses javascript)
account for free. It's Canadian, they say email is stored in encrypted form
and my Evolution setup is using OpenPGP. It took me a long
Anyone knows Protonmail?

I'm not much of an expert but I've read this has been created in order to
fight mass surveilance.
Certainly if you're the public enemy number one, you are fucked.
But that's way beside the point which is protecting the general public
against unwarranted constant surveillance, panopticon style. We can't and on
the other hand don't have to make things impossible but just painful enough
If you send any mail to anyone in the US or EU they can get your emails,
especially with their prism like technology which collects everything going
on the lines, every country in europe has this, including germany. Still
best to use something like pgp/gpg encryption.
But even then,
I agree.
Essentially, there are two parts to your interaction with the e-mail system:
your mail client and your mail server. The mail client (in your case
Google's proprietary webmail interface) is the program you use to receive, read,
and send e-mails. The mail server (in your case Google's mail
Bulgaria is in the EU :(
Clearly, the best choice is to host your own email and use GPG encryption.
6 months in the EU and 2 years in the US UK
weird i though the uk was in the eu...?
It is.
This is definitely the way to go.
Even if you can't use GPG because others refuse to use it due to laziness, at
least host your own server. It's a start!

Yep, the UK is the only Country in the EU that rushed through a law to extend
it to 2 years.
But I basically agree that you'll have to host your own email, or if not use
encryption.
Problem with encrypting emails is that most recipients won't be bothered to
do it,
hence won't be able or
first time I send or reply to an email I always sign it. That way I make it
clear that I prefer using encryption. If it is only one time or two times
generic, boring, impersonal mail communication, I don't care too much, but if
it is personal and private I insist that the recipient installs
I'm curious... where did you see or hear that Openmail was recommended by the
FSF? I did a Google search but didn't come up with anything..
Thank you
After doing some research on my own, I learned that SquirrelMail and
RoundCube were both web-based email services that ran under the GNU General
Public License. However, after looking over this website,

SquirrelMail and RoundCube are just web applications that act as clients to
an email server... no different than Eudora or Thunderbird or Outlook, except
that they run on a web server. To use a postal analogy, this is the
Mailbox.
In order to actually send and receive mail, a mail service
I like openmailbox.org as well. I've never had any problems with their
services.
It's recommended on this page:

I use riseup. I recommend riseup and https://ruggedinbox.com/
ruggedinbox is great for many reasons and it's a better option (IMHO) than
openmailbox.
I think SuperTramp83 is right in recommending ruggedinbox, as its servers
are hosted off-shore
and are therefore outside of EU or mostly other legislation.
Sadly, all companies, ISP's, or any one hosting emails has to comply to
lawful regulations,
which state that all electronic

Hello,
I am somewhat curious as to what kind of email services some of you
Trisquel users are using, especially webmail services? I'm considering
switching from using Google Gmail (which I've used for many years now) to
something that is far more privacy and freedom respecting...
Thank
I use openmailbox.org. I liked the interface and the fact that it is
recommended by FSF.
I too also use Fastmail and while I don't think that they directly give out
the information I would guess that it eventually gets caught up in the NSA's
Prism program as the company is based in Melbourne, Australia (Home town
yay!) but the servers are in New York, US. :(
