The story originally broke when Dutch website Misdaadnieuws (Crime News) published documents from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), a Dutch law enforcement agency, stating that police were able to access deleted messages and read encrypted emails on so-called BlackBerry PGP devices.

A representative from NFI confirmed that “we are capable of obtaining encrypted data from BlackBerry PGP devices,” according to a report from Motherboard.

On Tuesday, Motherboard further reported on a similar result by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

The reason we recommend switching to neomailbox.ch addresses is that the ".net" domain space is controlled by Verisign, which is a US company, whereas the ".ch" domain space is administered by SWITCH Information Technology Services, a Swiss company, and is subject to Swiss laws, not US ones. Therefore, switching to neomailbox.ch addresses is an important component of keeping your email service outside of the USA.

After a lot of reading I don't think there is any email service anywhere that is actually secure. The metadata on email is too extensive and the reach of the NSA (et al) is too broad. If you have to secure the contents of your email you're going to have to encrypt it yourself. If you just want to get away from advertisers deusexcaelo has complied a nice list of email services. but don't think any of them are "private". They're not. Email is inherently insecure.

Sending an email message is like sending a postcard, says scientist Andy Yen in this thought-provoking talk: Anyone can read it. Yet encryption, the technology that protects the privacy of email communication, does exist. It's just that until now it has been difficult to install and a hassle to use. Showing a demo of an email program he designed with colleagues at CERN, Yen argues that encryption can be made simple to the point of becoming the default option, providing true email privacy to all.

La réponse est étonnamment élevée. Malgré le fait que je dépense des centaines de dollars par an et des heures de travail pour héberger mon propre serveur email, Google a environ la moitié de mes emails personnels!

L'année dernière, Google a livré 57% des emails de ma boîte de réception auxquels j'ai répondu. Il a livré plus d'un tiers de tous les mails auxquels j'ai répondu depuis 2006, et plus de la moitié depuis 2010.

The answer is surprisingly large. Despite the fact that I spend hundreds of dollars a year and hours of work to host my own email server, Google has about half of my personal email! Last year, Google delivered 57% of the emails in my inbox that I replied to. They have delivered more than a third of all the email I’ve replied to every year since 2006 and more than half since 2010.

To avoid spam, jetable.org provides you with a temporary email address. As soon as it is created, all the emails sent to this address are forwarded to your actual email address.

Your antispam address will be deactivated after the lifespan you selected comes to its end.

The court-ordered search Yahoo conducted, on the other hand, was done by a module attached to the Linux kernel - in other words, it was deeply buried near the core of the email server operating system, far below where mail sorting was handled, according to three former Yahoo employees.

They said that made it hard to detect and also made it hard to figure out what the program was doing.

The backdoor was installed in such a way that it was intercepting and querying all Yahoo Mail users’ emails, not just emails of investigation targets.

The uncertainty that weaves its way into your psyche while you wait can cause angst, sleepless nights and worse. Why we’re anxious about email — and what to do about it.
