Quasi secure mail.

[BitCoiner2012]

Obviously best is PGP between parties.

Are there any known providers that aren't on prism list? I don't need any crazy space size, just simple email with text and maybe an image every blue moon. Recommendations? I'd even pay BTC for such a private mail service.

As seen in the case of tormail, even if a service is currently not on the "prism list", the service still can be compromised later on. Also keep in mind that all parties' providers must be secure. The best candidate for scenario is actually bitmessage, or PGP. Neither of them rely on a centralized provider, so there's nothing to raid.

I'm not looking to be total dark - I want something relatively simple (no tormail) but that isn't known to be signed up with NSA, or unlikely to do so. Also as a protest toward Google and others.

I could set up my own domain and do pop3 no?

Don't mean to bring the thread off topic but on the subject of hosting, are there any places that host for BTC? Would be rad to host with BTC and do email from your own domain.. Via proxy/tor would be pretty anon methinks, then add the PGP and you're golden.

Yes, I believe so, but can't point you there sadly.

but you do realize that both parties must not be under NSA wiretap for any type of privacy, right? So you'll have to scrutinize all your contacts as well. If you want that level of security, just use a secure alternative like bitmessage. I heard hushmail complies with court orders, but at least they don't do data mining (i think).
