asked on 

Safe and Secure Email needed: ProtonMail?

What is a good and safe and secure email account to use? I heard about ProtonMail.

What kinds of things to consider? What about country? I am not so sure about Switzerland...

What are the options?

Thanks

Being the ultimate pessimist...

If you have the ability to run your entire Mail infrastructure - incoming + reading + outgoing - this is always safest, as then you're the only person with access to your mail.

This may sound like paranoia... until you research the death of the fantastic HushMail service...

Depending on your exact reasons, using a 3rd party is acceptable if you don't mind every Gov bureaucracy reading your mail.

If you require... complete security... run your own infrastructure... with all related services running on physical machines outside the US legal jurisdiction.

The US can still go after you... and... by taking the simple step of non-US servers, the cost of going after you goes from a phone call to some Big Tech Cartel Shill... to huge amounts of money dealing with non-US governments... pitching them to turn over your data...
