Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Non-US Based Email Providers? 410
First time accepted submitter jlnance writes "I don't particularly like the NSA looking over my shoulder. As the scope of its various data gathering programs comes to light, it is apparent to me that the only way to avoid being watched is to use servers based in countries which are unlikely to respond to US requests for information. I realize I am trading surveillance by the NSA for surveillance by the KGB or equivalent, but I'm less troubled by that. I searched briefly for services similar to ymail or gmail which are not hosted in the US. I didn't come up with much. Surely they exist? What are your experiences with this?"

You need more paranoia please.

And, of course, you'd need to use a US-based pigeon.

I knew it. I just knew it! nvidia is not to be trusted either.

The problem with pigeons is that they're susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.

I thought they were susceptible to cat-in-the-middle attacks.
