Email Providers

After regaining control of my computer, and emails. I've been asking myself, what is the most safe / secure email provider at the moment?

When I was hacked, I was using hotmail. I have now created a gmail account, but I see that FireZ has had his email hacked, even though he is on gmail. Any ideas?

 

to be honest it would still have to be Gmail, i guess firez just got abit unlucky maybe i dunno but i doubt there's anything els out there thats as good as Gmail right now anyways.

 

Ive always used hotmail and have never been hacked. however i am considering switching to gmail as people say its safer...

 

Before 4days ago, I had never been hacked either. But looks like my run came to an end, and that's the reason I'm posting this.

 

Gmail is your best bet. It is the safest provider out there, and I love how fast, smooth. and simple it is.

 

Thanks, I've also heard good things about hushmail.

 

Yes, it's actually pretty decent.

If you don't want something that common and want an e-mail that is VERY hard to impersonate, go Hushmail, like I did.

They won't have [email protected], but I'm sure you can get [email protected], @hushmail.com, etc.

 

Thanks for the replies mate. I'll look deeper into them both, and hopefully won't have any problems regarding my computers' safety.

 

No problem buddy.

 

hushmail is the way to go it makes gmail look pathetic.

 

Never heard of hushmail before today. Might actually make an account there

 

Your safest bet is to buy your own domain and setup your own email there.

 

I use a different email for my account and sythe for when I trade with people that is one way you can keep your email safe. Also make sure anti-virus and FIREWALL are up to date! that is key. Unless you give personal information out or your email out for accounts you should be pretty safe.

You gotta think with a little bit of information anymore people can find just about anything about you. Good luck hope this helps a bit.

 

Gmail.

You can have sms verification.

Basically, I could give you my email account + password, and you still wouldn't be able to get on without;

SMS verification, or SMS codes given to you when you first sign up for this security feature.

 

Gmail all the way. I have never heard of hushmail so I cant really say anything about it.

 

never heard of hushmail, my hotmail/gmail accounts have never been hacked so I'm in the clear for now lol

 

GMX and Hushmail are pretty good. Check them out!
