 | I was just about to mention Google Apps. Sure, you have to pay for a domain registration, but that's only a few bucks a year, and the standard version of Apps is free. And if you're a school or nonprofit org, you can get the education edition free as well.
As for those wearing tinfoil hats, if a government agency wants access to your e-mail, it isn't gonna matter if you use Google or something else. Not that you can't do things to protect your privacy, but hosting mail with Google isn't going to expose you to any more risk than hosting with anyone else. If you want privacy, forget about the provider you use and get some strong encryption on your computer and e-mail. |
