Lavabit returns

why would i use this over protonmail?

I wonder if I'm going to remember my old lavabit password or anything else that will be enough info to recover. Wouldn't mind having the account back even if I'm a bit wary to trust it.

for when proton's host has your entire network in their RBL

IT WAS JUST A SCAN YOU PRICKS

care to explain why you think that?

>use an email provider!
>NSA and other government agencies have a secret pact with said company to read your emails
>we promise we will secure your own shit for you!
I just host my own mail, I don't trust anyone but myself

The open source client encrypts your mail with a key that it doesn't share.

lavabit blew it, why would anyone trust them ever again?

>>58645002
Did you reply to my post without reading it, or are you just retarded? You do not need to trust them.

I'm tired of /g/'s shitty gimmicky proof of concept recommendations with an expiry date.
And I'm not only talking about email providers.

>You do not need to trust them.
of course i have to. oss does not instant spawn trust. first, someone has to audit the code and confirm that it's legit and second i have to trust them that they won't fuck around server side.

Original Lavabit did the right thing. This is probably an NSA honeypot.

You don't have to trust the server side, because the client side does not send plaintext mail or your key to the server.

maybe. anyways, i've settled with protonmail and never looked back. to think you can have a mailprovider like this within the graps of the us feds was stupid in the first place.

that's true, but i always have a look at who is running the server and in this instance, it's a company that already worked with the fbi, so no thx.
