Title: A possible alternative to TorMail
Post by: G00D2G0 on May 13, 2013, 09:28 pm
I don't know about you guys, but Tormail always down for me. Even when it does work my inbox erases itself and remains empty even when I know people have sent me mail. I don't even bother using it anymore because it's so unreliable.

StartMail seems like it's going to be a good alternative. It's not ready yet but, but you can sign up as a beta tester if that's something you're interested in doing. Here is the website if you guys wanna check it out:  https://startmail.com/

I'd only trust an email service which encrypts its content in such a way the operators themselves cannot read the content even if they wanted to

That's exactly how Katherine Albrecht described it. I didn't get a chance to look into it too much, but I like her and the work she does so I tend to trust what she says. I'll definitely look into it more once it's ready, but for now I thought people might be interested to check it out.

Very cool! I know these guys well because their search engine has replaced Google/Yahoo/Bing on all of my computers. Been using them for months now. Even though their e-mail service may not be a good Tormail alternative, it could replace Gmail and other webmail services completely. Would be awesome if they came up for an Android app, so I could dump Gmail completely on my phone. I'm definitely all for it, even though it may not be the solution people here are looking for. One at a time, guys :)
