Hello popowich,
I have not used Hushmail, but I've read their website over and researched them. I passed because their service is feature-constrained and proprietary. I was just not interested.
I've had a Protonmail account since it was in pre-beta and I helped the guys out with some early bugs and feedback. It was nice to get personal responses and actual fixes made from my direct feedback. It felt good to help them out. However, given their team size and budget, the number of features they have delivered is eclipsed by Sergei with SCRYPTmail.
I have had a SCRYPTmail account since Sergei made his service public beta. We've exchanged many emails over bugs and features, again, with personal responses and feedback delivered as product updates. It is my pleasure to help "beta" test. I've even survived a total account wipe-out and re-creation - I was not chased away by the major bugs.I am continually impressed with the number of features and velocity Sergei has sign-handedly delivered. Including help pages and blog updates, looking past the grammar mistakes, shows he is very busy and passionate about his work.
I'll repeat what I've posted on another forum... I believe competition in this space should not be driven to win the most users of proprietary secure email services, but to compete on features, UI, usability and interoperability of secure email services.
Have I performed a code review of any public code of these services? No, I am not qualified to review crypto code, but I understand how the technology all works. I can use browser tools to see where connections go and their content - where possible. I can trace code to see what's going on, but I cannot validate any of the encryption routines.
That said, I've read this article about javascript cryptography. Matasano Security - Matasano Web Security Assessments for Enterprises You my want to fire-up a new topic to discuss that one. I'm interested in what the developers, like Sergei, have to say.
Cheers
Would you care to elaborate, perhaps with an entry in your SCYRPTmail blog? referencing Matasano Security - Matasano Web Security Assessments for EnterprisesI've read those article when I just start to write SCRYPTmail, it should be fun to point in how many places his statements are false.
One more thing related to Hushmail that is a negative, they require a phone number to send an SMS for sign-up. Why?
Any other encrypted email services that should be considered in the comparison?
encrypted email service, as most feature rich and secured service!
Any other encrypted email services that should be considered in the comparison?
Did you make the switch to one of these services? Why?Did you make the move from a popular free email service?
If you tried any of these services but felt they were lacking, what features do you think they need to implement?
I've been using safe mail for years without any issues,the freebie version which has storage of 3MB if this is an issue for anyone...Safe-mail.net
The only e mail program i have an issue with is proton.For some reason i'm not able to receive alerts from web sites i use for sensitive info.I contacted tech support,& well...lol.This went on for at least a month so i contacted Proton to see if they knew the answer.They were very respectful but they don't seem to know the answer.Between the web site & proton i spent at least 2 months but to no avail.
In general it's easier to start with the sender. Did you try contacting the bank and asking them to check for the mail log related to the email to Proton Mail and see if it was accepted for delivery or not?

"lavaboom".
I also noticed that Proton & Lavaboom doesn't have the option for users to delete the account.
I'm still waiting for my account to be approved and for the owner to confirm their features.
Did you ever receive a response to your email? Did you check your spam folder for replies?
