<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I would suggest using Riseup.net instead of ISP emails or gmail. I
don't use gmail anymore because I don't like plateforms owned by
big companies advertising and controling my messages.<br>

<h2>What is special about riseup.net email</h2>
<p>Your riseup.net email account is a wonderful thing. Although we
don’t provide as much storage quota as surveillance-funded
corporate email providers, riseup.net email has many unusual
features:</p>
<p><em>We encrypt traffic whenever possible.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you send email from riseup.net to another secure email
provider, the email is encrypted for its entire journey. (see
<a href="https://help.riseup.net/en/starttls">StartTLS</a> for
more info)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>We don’t disclose your location to email recipients.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you send email with riseup.net, your internet address
(IP address) is not embedded in the email. With corporate
email providers, anyone who receives your email can figure out
your approximate physical location from the internet address
included in the email.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>We don’t log your internet address.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Our commitment is to keep as little data on you as we can.
Unlike corporate providers, we do not log internet addresses
of anyone using riseup.net services, including email.</p>

<pre wrap="">David, Gmail is secure in the sense that you have an encrypted
connection when you use it. The point of my blog post is that many
people connect to their ISP's POP server by sending their password
*unencrypted* across the Internet - plain text for anyone to see.
Privacy is a separate issue, even if a bit intertwined.

Over the Internet? Doesn't the word "Internet" suggest travel across two
or more Internet ISP's and/or other domains?
When I connect to MY ISP POP server(s) am I not staying within their
domain? My ISP is a cable company and I use one of their modems to
connect to one of their POP servers using their hardware and wire.
Don't get me wrong, I too would prefer a more secure connection which,
to some degree I believe, I have when I use my ISP's webmail service to
connect to my local eMail accounts.
Not all users have the knowledge and skill to set up and manage their
own eMail servers. What do you recommend they/we do?
GR
