Introduction and Advice Regarding Email Service Providers or Riseup

Hi everyone. I've been reading the Trisquel forums for a while, but finally decided to register for an account so I can reply to the many topics that I read and get involved by contributing more to the project.

I have started the process of software liberation. I have successfully Librebooted my trusty old ThinkPadT400, swapped the wifi card with a free one, and installed Trisquel 7. I am currently in the process of degoogling, and moving my information/emails/subscriptions to another email service provider, but I am not sure which to choose. I saw someone mention here on the forums that the FSF supported Riseup, and I initially considered this though I discovered you need an invite to join their community.

I realize that email is already flawed regarding privacy in it's design, but I encrypt emails when necessary anyways. I just wanted to move away from gmail, microsoft, etc. If anyone is a member of riseup that could invite me I would greatly appreciate it, or if you can recommend another email service provider that respects your privacy and freedoms I would greatly appreciate it.

Looking forward to delving into Trisquel!

Many thanks in advance.
