Alternative Email Recommendations

[lucid]

Tried this, looked good, but as it turns out it fails to send pretty much every email, and also seems to have a hard time accepting. Which, needless to say, makes this pretty useless as an email service.

It's damn near impossible to find a secure email that actually works. Looks like I'll just have to go the VPS route.

Well I encountered no issue with it thus far.
Kinda like it actually.

You can send and receive emails successfully? Because people I would email wouldn't get my emails. It also took an extremely long time for me to receive them.

Not one fucking amon email service actually works for me..

vmail.me emails not working for me either.


Does anyone have any experience running SquirrelMail or Roundcube on a LAMP stack? There's a short guide to setting up Roundcube in LinuxFormat's The Hacker's Manual 2014 and it looks pretty interesting. I've been needing to set up a new email myself and it's frustrating not being able to find a decent alternative to the fascist corporate ones like microsoft, google et all.

On a LAMP , why so darn complicated, kiss it.
Just lookup zarafa.
Easy install + setup and a cute web interface.

The best one is hushmail

Hushmail uses industry standard algorithms as specified by the Open PGP Standard (RFC 2440) to ensure the security, privacy and authenticity of your email. We also protect all webmail traffic with HTTPS.

With Hushmail, all you need to remember is your passphrase. Hushmail takes care of everything else in the background. This seamless and transparent encryption process makes Hushmail one of the most user-friendly secure email solutions available.

When you send an email from Hushmail to another Hushmail member, we encrypt the contents of the email and deliver it to that member’s Inbox. When that member later opens the email it will automatically be decrypted.

When you send an email from Hushmail to someone who is using another email provider, you can choose to encrypt the contents of the email by typing a secret question and answer. The recipient must be able to answer that question in order to decrypt and read the email.

All of the underground scene groups have been using hushmail for YEARS. They've been around forever an encrypts all mail traffic.

Try this maybe you will find this usefull.

I agree with this user. I recently just got into autistici and it's great so far. You should see if you can get in .

I'm located in the states and using Husmail for basic privacy at $35.00 a year is nice.
I've been with Hushmail for a long time and they're good enough for what I need them for.
Anything more "private" isn't going through an email anyway.
Another option is:  Countermail

Note that Hushmail _has_ gotten people screwed in the past (read :

Code: [Select]

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/08/hushmail_court_orders/ ) simply further illustrating the fact that no one is gonna go to jail for you. Encrypt your shit and only ever send encrypted shit. That way any and all communication from that account is encrypted

Iirc they gave a private key to government officials on printed paper on a particular occasion.

Already mentioned:
- https://riseup.net/en (VPN + Email + XMPP + Lists + Pads; requires 2 invites or application)
- http://www.autistici.org/en/index.html (Great uptime, reliable servers, secure)

We provide a wide range of communication tools:

    Email
    Blogs
    Mailing lists, Newsletters and Forums
    Web Hosting
    Instant Messaging and Chat
    Anonimity Services and Personal VPNs

Note: Their VPN service is fast too but sometimes leaks DNS.

Not mentioned:
- https://intactmail.com/

I use a secure forward service developed by Abine called Mask Me: https://www.abine.com/maskme/
Combine this with Autistici because Riseup is notoriously slow

Why not use some form of hard to guess text encryption, then use hushmail for sending. That way even if it was intercepted they would need to figure out your passphrase as well as what encryption you used

Just wanted to add this as well. A group of MIT students put it together as an NSA Proof email. Uses a 2 password authentication system, does not store or track user data, its free. I'm going to give it a try. You have to be on a desktop to set it up, or spoof your user agent on a phone or tablet for the initial setup
