[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1075194, member: 57429"] Countermail is a OG provider and I still rate it. I remember back in the naughties when Countermail and Mullvad first appeared, SWE services providers were all the rage, everything changes though. The problem back in the day, Countermail forced users to use Java Plugin to access the webmail. Now it's different but you can't even get a free account without an invite code and even with an invite code you get 7 day trial unless you pay. Out of all those listed I would rate Tuta.com #1, Posteo.de #2 and Riseup.net #3. Muzz it doesn't matter what email provider you use if you use PGP to encrypt email you won't have a problem and could use Gmail for email duties. Problem is 99% of people do not use PGP and couldn't use it correctly if they tried (including myself! at times I struggled with it in the past) . But you probably know this already! I would avoid services that force you to provide your private key to encrypt and decrypt email/messages. But that's just me. Chain of trust is easier with yourself only having access to private key's rather than multiple people/services, BUT and it's a big but you never know what exploits/vuln's/side channel exploits/breaches are discovered in the future so take care.
