      I use safe mail now and haven't had any issues but sounds like it may be best to make a move.

      privatdemail. Based in Germany, servers in Egypt. They don't log your ip or store your mails on their servers after they've been downloaded to your pop3 client. Also they do not cooperate with law enforcement, especially the US.

      Great info from another board. This is a great reply to a subscriber's questions and is similar to others I have seen from admin at securenym........

      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      > Where are your servers located? If in the USA , the US Gov can
      > force you to give up info like they did for Hushmail correct?
      >
      > Your program may not send out personal info but does it collect it
      > as in you know who signed up for your Service and the method you use
      > to collect payment stores info... Correct?

      Your message was forwarded to me by one of our administrators. As one
      of SecureNym's owners, I wanted to take the time to answer your
      questions personally.

      SecureNym has gateway servers in the US and our database servers are
      located in Canada. We have a backup location, for emergencies, in
      Nassau, Bahamas.

      A government can certainly try to force us to provide information, as
      can anyone else via legal proceedings. They do so all the time. Some
      of the subpoenas are quashed immediately, due to errors or
      incompetence. Those that survive the initial scrutiny from our
      attorneys have not been a problem to date.

      SecureNym, from day one ten years ago, chose a much different
      security model than Hush. The whole premise of our security is that
      we cannot be forced to reveal what we don't know. Ignorance is a
      simple, and very reliable, defense that has served both our users and
      us quite well.

      We do NOT have any way of knowing who has what account. When a user
      receives an account creation key, and enters it into our system, the
      key is securely deleted BEFORE the user is directed to the account
      creation page. Thus, the connection between an account key and a
      specific account never exists. This is why we admonish users to be
      sure to complete the process immediately, because otherwise we have
      no way of recovering the key.

      This means that it might be possible for someone to discover the
      user's payment to SecureNym, via financial records at a credit card
      company, but there is no way to prove that the account key was even
      used, much less what account it might have been used to create. A
      payment is circumstantial evidence, at very best.

      Next, we have no way of recovering a password. SecureNym uses a
      Catch-22 to make sure that we can't do so, and that no one else could
      either. All passwords are encrypted and stored in our databases. The
      decryption key is a cryptographic 'hash' of the account name and
      the...... password. In short, you must know the password to decrypt
      the password.

      Your messages are all encrypted with that same cryptographic hash, on
      the fly, as they arrive at our servers. The same rule applies; the
      messages can be decrypted ONLY with the user's account name and password.

      God knows, we've defended our security practices in countless legal
      proceedings. So many that government agencies rarely bother trying
      anymore. The fact is that our security protects us just as much as it
      protects our users. If it were ever to be proven that we could access
      the information we claim we can't, we'd face some very serious
      contempt and perjury charges.

      As a defense, ignorance must be absolutely demonstrable and provable.
      Ours is, and has withstood legal scrutiny many times.

      Hushmail gave up information that they should have never had, plain
      and simple. Once you have it, you don't have much choice in the face
      of a proper subpoena. And once it's been proven that you have
      information, it's almost impossible to turn off the information tap
      without being charged with obstruction of justice. The solution is to
      NEVER have anything.

      SecureNym was subpoenaed at exactly the same time as Hush was. We
      fought the subpoena, and beat it, so it didn't get far, but Hush just
      submitted. The agencies involved even tried to force us to change our
      programming, to facilitate their efforts. That's illegal, by any
      standard, so our attorneys were able to stop this before it got off
      the ground.

      We can only speculate as to why Hush chose not to fight for their
      users, but they did not.

      In the end, it comes down to the business objective. Hush wants to go
      public one day, and has accepted money from venture capitalists
      toward that end. This is a slippery slope, and once you step foot on
      it, things can go downhill rather quickly.

      Investors don't like controversy, such as is provided by fighting the
      DOJ. This is evidenced by the fact that most public companies will
      furnish anything the government wants, often without even a subpoena.
      ATT, AOL, and countless others fall into this category of gutless wonders.

      SecureNym has had ample opportunity to be either acquired or diluted
      with money from investors, such as Microsoft. SecureNym is privately
      owned, and is going to stay that way. There are three principals, two
      Americans and one Canadian. We have never accepted investments from
      anyone, nor will we, because the day we do, we start losing control
      of our company, and our security.

      When that happens, you can no longer give your users what they pay
      you to provide.

      I hope this helps answer your questions.

      Securenym.net Server Location

      ISP: IP Global, LLC.
      IP: 65.183.52.66
      City: Seabrook
      Country: United States(US)
      Latitude: 29.5814
      Longitude: -95.0273
      Importance of server location: server location generally shows the location at which the site server is actually situated. this location is very important because the website with the content prohibited by some countries can not be hosted in the states of u.s or also called onshore. This location can be found in the below table. The location of the server includes its hosting country, its city and also the country code of that country which is hosting this website. This data is important because the users and 3rd parties might want to see that where the server of the particular domain is situated. It also includes the latitudes and longitudes of the domain which can be used to find exact location through satellite.

      Another good post I located on encrypted emails (Posted by Madbull @ VIP).....


      I'm going to review a lot of the e-mail services I've seen people signing up for over the past year and go over them in depth with some facts and my opinions on them. If you are seriously interested in protecting your privacy by subscribing to a service, you should seek all of the following features: substantial amount of storage, a secure (SSL) connection, strong encryption for sending and storing messages (starting at your computer), no log keeping, offshore servers, and the option to sign-up and pay anonymously, without providing any personal information including a credit card number, phone number, or email address. Some services are web-based only, while others also offer POP /IMAP/SMTP access. Your first decision should be to determine if a web-based only solution will work for you, or if you will also require POP /IMAP/SMTP access. The cost of the services below range from $24 to $90 per year.
      ________________________________________

      S-Mail

      Hosting: Russia

      Incorporation: Ireland

      Noticeable Problems: Requires Java, JavaScript & Cookies

Several offline payment options (in Euros) and several online payment options, including E-gold.

      Con: The system logs everything and you can't send encrypted messages to non-S-Mail users. Tiny storage, several other limits applied, especially for the Standard service.

Even when messages are sent to a recipient that does not use PGP or S/mime, his reply will be fully encrypted with your key upon arrival at SecureNym. SecureNym never has your private key, so only you can decrypt a message." No logging of traffic or IP addresses. Will accept money orders.

      Con: Onshore (subject to U.S. law), no message encryption available at your computer without PGP or a digital certificate, and medium storage.
      ________________________________________

      Cost: $49.95 per year.

      Storage: 1 GB

      Noticeable Problems: None noticed

      ________________________________________

      Safe-Mail.net

      Cost: $25 per year. (Or free)

      Storage: 75MB (3mb)

      Hosting: Israel

      Incorporation: Israel

      The Problem: Israel. Israel's government, that is. That and Safe-Mail's privacy policy is laughable. NSA access allegations (which they deny NSA Controls SSL Email Hosting Services). Requires JavaScript upon initial signing in.

      I'm not going to go into an in depth analysis of safe-mail as I promise you it has been compromised whether you believe it or not it is no longer a safe means for an e-mail. Just read there TOS.
      ________________________________________

      All of the above services have strong anti-spam policies for users and most have limits on the number of recipients per email and/or the size of an email, including any attachments. Read the applicable Terms of Service for all of the details.

      Onshore servers: KeptPrivate, SecureNym, and NeoMailbox.

      Offshore servers: All of the rest, plus NeoMailbox.

      Cost/Storage ($/MB): NeoMailbox: 0.07 (offshore) and 0.16 (onshore), Countermail: 0.10 KeptPrivate: 0.29, Safe-mail: 0.33 AnonMail: 0.94 (32 MB), SecureNym: 1.2 (Basic), S-Mail: 2.4 (Standard)

      NeoMailbox is the bargain of the bunch for onshore or offshore servers. It offers everything: lots of storage, SSL, IMAP/ POP /SMTP access, web mail, OpenPGP encryption (with a free plug-in), spam ID, antivirus, unlimited disposable aliases, hardware token authentication. In addition, the 1 GB offshore server package not only includes secure (SSL) anonymous surfing, it is also the least expensive package of the bunch, on a $/MB basis. If you want it all, this deal is tough to beat. The fact there is no requirement of Java means that the user can stay truly anonymous to the provider.

      To protect your privacy you should select offshore servers, pay with a money order or GoldMoney, sign-up anonymously, and insist on strong message encryption, in addition to an SSL connection. NeoMailbox offers all of the above.

      Reasoning behind JavaScript being a problem: For those of us who like to do browse online with a proxy that is when the problem comes in. Certain codes used in JavaScript have been shown to trace the user back to their originating IP address using even the most sophisticated proxies and TOR. So you've been warned if you like to stay anonymous.
