openmailbox
I am a translator!
just received an e-mail from openmailbox - the good news is the free storage is now 1 gb. Nice!!
Hello,
All new accounts now come with 1GB free email storage and old accounts has been upgraded.
By the way, I would be interested by having some users reviews, you can just do it by replying to this email.
Best regards,
Pierre Barre
Wow, I can sign up an account with Tor!
I looked for something like this for.... the last years?
Thanks!
Yep.
For many people, openmailbox is the new Lavabit. However, little is known about the people behind openmailbox, and the service is freaggin awesome, so there are questions whether it should be trusted or not. When possible, use GPG.
But yes, it works great over Tor, and you can access cloudservice too. And messaging.
I also like that openmailbox offers a owncloud service for free. I just wanted 2GB instead of 1GB, although I wonder how hard it is to offer so much space without being one of the big companies offering tracked-based ads.
By the way, openmailbox is still needing more donations for the 2015 funding.
There's actually more and more services like that. Tutanota[1] is one that I started to use (Germany-based, incl. servers). They make encryption incredibly easy to use, and I believe even manage to encrypt email's subject. Mailpile[2] is another, and Protonmail[3] and Lavaboom[4] (haven't tried any of them myself yet; if you ever do, let me know how good/bad they are).
It gives me some hope seeing how many new stuff of that sort have been appearing lately :-)
There's also Dark Mail[5] (upcoming) by guys behind SilentCircle and Lavabit.
