I have been a Hushmail user since around 2008 after a strong recommendation from a trusted friend who is an ex-pat living..."off shore". As long as you are not doing anything illegal, this encrypted email service is great! Hushmail's servers are in Canada. They have a free starter email service as well as a premium that cost less than $40 per year. The premium offers more space. It is simple to use and installed on my home computer as well as my iPhone. The staff at Hushmail are great.
