    We asked our developers and sys admins which email providers they use personally and what they could recommend you.
    ProtonMail is an open-source email service provider, based in Switzerland. It uses end-to-end encryption and requires no personally identifiable information to sign up. ProtonMail also allows setting an expiration date to emails, after which they will be automatically deleted from the recipient’s inbox.

    Hushmail keeps emails secure with state-of-the-art encryption methods. It offers a convenient web interface for sending encrypted messages from any device.
    Tutanota offers a free, end-to-end encrypted email service. If you send an encrypted message to someone who doesn’t use Tutanota, they get a temporary account and can only access it with a special password.

    I used hushmail about 15 years ago maybe? As I recall everyone else you correspond with also has to use it or it doesn't work because it's based on a specific program. Like PGP, a fantastic mailing envelope that should have been required by law in the 1990's, everyone has to use the program -- in this example, PGP -- to decrypt what is encrypted.

    Nobody is into that stuff, and the government sure doesn't want you using it.

    All of these are perfectly fine, so long as their respective home governments remain respectful of privacy.

    However since laws change like the weather, is recommend learning how to use end to end encryption and teach others how to do it as well. GnuPG or PGP are perfectly acceptable starting points.

    But first things first - check the hardware. Doesn't matter how awesome your passphrase is if someone else has physical access to the system and installs a key logger.
