If not Hotmail then what? What is the most safest free E-mail?

operamail.com its encrypted i've had no problems with this email and best of all its free

 

[RADAR]

using a hush based encryption system is the best way to go as there is more inter-compatability between service providers

hushmail,cyber-rights, elitefitness, and Hush?, are all compatible.

BINGO!

Hush is easy and free

They are not compatible, sending mail from EF Stealth to a Hush user or cyber-rights user means there is no encryption.

Are they the same encryption algorithm? Yes. But each system uses a different seed key, if they didn't someone at Hush could open and read ALL EF encrypted mail.

Cyber-rights.net uses the Hushmail encryption engine.

Hushmail, cyber-rights, elitefitness, ziplip are all compatible. They all use PGP encryption, and as long as the public keys are available, they are compatible and secure. PGP providers are VERY secure (if you passphrase is secure). The advantage to PGP encryption is that if other eyes try to snoop into your mail, it is not "economical" to decrypt (again ... based on how secure your passphrase is). Not even the companies that host PGP based email can snoop. What I mean by "economical" is that the more secure your passphrase is (based on bits on entropy), the more expensive and time consuming it becomes for interested parties to crack the encryption. Read the diceware link below.

Keptprivate is NOT secure. Keptprivate does use SSL encryption from the email server to your desktop, which can inhibit packet sniffers, but the email can still be easily read from the server.

Assume any other email provider (yahoo, msn, hotmail) is NOT secure. BTW, operamail is NOT secure. If there is a link "Forgot your password?" anywhere, the system is NOT SECURE.

KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER
--------------------------
1. Do not accept unencrypted email (requires paid subscription with some providers).
2. Never send email unencrypted.
3. Your passphrase determines how strong the encryption REALLY is. http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html
4. Do not lose or forget your passphrase or you are screwed. It can not be recovered.

BTW, if the info above helps, throw me some karma. Thanks.

you should also be using a secure elite proxy when you connect to your emails if you are doing bad stuff which could potnentially cause big brother to come looking and you should not be connecting to the internet from your home computer.
