With snooping, by the likes of NSA (Hello, Aussie government(s)!), security experts suggest we ALL need Secure eMail accounts.

Only if we use end-to-end Secure eMail will we really have the Security they think we need, so, a group in CH (ie, Switzerland) have made it both cheap (Free, actually) & easy to try / use their recently-released eMail service, running on servers in Switzerland.

I'll let them explain all the details to you; cf:

to request your (first) free Secure eMail address & service.

('works on desktop computers & mobile platforms, eg, in a browser or app.)

Check'em out, ie, before someone unduly checks you(r eMail) out. ;-)

Either way, we say:

  • "Know New Nukes" - ie, how it Reads, NOT how it Sounds ;-)

Cf app:

  • "Thorium" remix (available on both iOS & Android devices)

to view your choice of 20+ doco's (made w/ Crowd-Sourced funding) about
Safe, New, Small, LIQUID-FUEL Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) due ~2022.

(Why, there's enough info there to help you begin to think like a Nuclear Engineer; it may well inspire you to train to become one, in future.)

    I'm reminded: if it's free to you on the internet, you're the product, not the customer.

    Not sure why @mattgal removed his comment. Also not sure how secure ProtonMail is, but usually the security of the system is only as strong as its weakest link. In the case of email communication, it's usually those who you are communicating with. You might be using the most secured email platform in the world, but when you send an email to my Gmail address — sorry it might get sniffed by NSA. At the end you have to make sure all your correspondents are also using trusted email systems — something a lot harder than it sounds.

    lol no matter how secure their server is once you send the email to someone else it passes through like 20 servers in plain-text so it's kinda moot. Same with any incoming mail is going to be logged somewhere. Email was never supposed to be secure and was created before that was even a concern with the internet as it was just on a local network.

    I think a lot of people in this thread are guessing about how their service works without looking at the (admittedly scant) details they provide on their website. It looks like the mail is stored on Proton servers in encrypted form rather than being transferred to the user agent or other mail providers. To read the email a decryption key and a SSL session to their server are needed. If you forward mail to non-Proton users they get a link, not the actual content, and they have to connect to Proton. Of course if somebody reading passes on a plaintext transcript of the email, then the security is lost, but that's a PEBKAC issue.

    It's not exactly a new idea and they would be competing against services like Wickr and Signal, as promoted by our comms minister as ways to bypass metadata retention. Proton needs a mobile client to get on par. On the other hand there's the advantage of Swiss privacy law.
