Hushmail has admitted to providing information to governments before.
You have some alternatives, and while none is perfect, you should analyze
each one carefully, one will serve you well.
1. Setup your own mail server. Not easy to do, but not impossible. You will
spend more electricity but it will be safer.
2. https://riseup.net/en
this one has been known to be privacy minded. They claim to support activists
and such, so take a look at their website.
3. https://lavabit.com
This one is actually run by a small company that has been around for a while.
They use a very simple web interface (which is good) and they seem to be very
privacy/security minded. Take a look there.
4. http://www.autistici.org/en/index.html
Similar to riseup, they seem legit. Not sure because never used them.
5. You can use tormail, if you want only anonymous email. tormail.org it
will direct you to a tor hidden service, which we have no idea who is
running, nor where. Anonymous, but keep in mind, probably they read all your
emails. So, for some things is good, for others is a waste.
Hope it helped you. You can take a look at prism-break.org and see the email
services they choose.
