Hello Everyone,

I've been using a GMX account for the past couple years, and for the past month it has been automatically logging me out during the middle of my sessions. It often happens right when I click send, and I lose everything I had written. I've tried emailing their support team multiple times, but their "solutions" never solve anything.

Since I'm running a business (No, not that kind of business!) I need to have a reliable email service. In three years, I'd still like to have the account problem-free.

Don't recommend services like hushmail that give you a tiny amount of storage space, and then prompt you to pay for more space by getting a "premium" account. I'm looking for something that's really FREE...free of problems, and free of having to pay for anything.
No yahoo, no google, or anything like that.

My priority is free, but I also appreciate a service that is secure and encrypts email. This is not an absolute necessity, however. The main priorities are free and reliable.

If you want anonymous, free and as secure as it gets email (both webmail and pop3/imap) you might want to take a look at Tormail.

That looks like something I might want to use.

If I use that as my primary (not anonymous) email address will my anonymity be compromised if I decide to create another tormail account for anonymous emailing?

Also, how do they make money if it's a free email service?

1) It is unwise to use an anonymous service as your primary address given the unreliable nature of deepnet. Who knows who is running the server. Who knows where the server is and what security measures are in place. If Tor, or Tormail, goes down (either shut down or your ISP blocks access) you lose your primary email address. Not so fun.

2) Do not hand out your anon email address publicly. It raises a big red flag if the other side knows the uses of Tor. For example, if an employer sees this on a resume and associates Tor with illegal activity then I guarantee you will not get the job.

3) Messages are visible in plain-text to nodes on the network. Better make sure you're encrypting sensitive information. Also, keep in mind large adversaries control enough nodes on the network to correlate activity between various Tormail accounts.

For anonymous email, you might want to consider I2P-bote. The system is distributed and secure. However, there is no out-proxy. For this you might look into Postman.

OK, so for my primary email account, I best not go with something that's so "secure."

I'm just looking for something straightforward like yahoo, but not so mainstream.

Why not just setup your own exchange server or linux-based mail server?

Out of curiosity, what do you have against Gmail? While I won't defend all of Google's actions, they were the only top tier company that refused to comply with the Bush administration's demands to get access to their databases (Yahoo and MS had no problems giving this information up).
