I guess my question would be why?
There are many free encrypted email providers out there. But, I still see a lot of people sending me email from Gmail, Yahoo, etc w/o any regard for security. I always tell them to get a protonmail account, but a lot of them are reluctant to do so for some reason.

But, if you just install mailvelope, you can send encrypted emails from Gmail, etc and it's free and super easy to use.

We also have to remember the Hushmail fiasco. No matter how secure and encrypted and offshore a company claims to be, if LE leans on them hard enough, they can probably find a way to access your email regardless.

Stay paranoid and always use good OPSEC! Use a VPN or TOR Browser, or if you're super paranoid or want complete security, I would recommend installing Tails OS to a USB stick and booting from that. That's what Edward Snowden used when he was releasing all his classified info.

I plan to make a post about Tails OS if there is any interest in it. But, I've made these other posts and I'm not getting too many views or replies, so I don't know if there is too many concern about OPSEC here on this forum.
