I've used hushmail in the past, both their free and premium, and i'm not at all dissatisfied with their service, but i would love some suggestions for alternate providers. PGP Integration would be nice,but it's not essential. Basically i'm just not sure if i should be happy trusting certain providers such as gmail (who i use) with their ability to 'read' my plain text messages (its not like i encrypt all my communications), even if it is for targeted advertising purposes.

Anyone with reviews and first hand experience, both positive/negative or any suggestions at all would be a great help.
thanks Smiley

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Have always used gmail with 2fa enabled and have never faced any problems with them what so ever, also never felt the need to encrypt the messages so far but chrome added a new extension which adds gpg encryption to gmail mails. check this:

I'll be checking out the link in a moment. Although PGP integration with the email provider isn't essential as I mentioned above, encrypting some of my communications is. I hadn't heard about this feature from gmail until now, seems hot off the press. Will be interested to see what they're doing.

Thanks for your your suggestion
