vivaldi.net<\/a> webmail is one to consider.<\/p>\n

the webmail (not pc client program) in myopera was pretty good. It was part of the whole myopera community. It went “out of business” as of 3\/1\/2014. Ie tomorrow \ud83d\ude09 However the developers created Vivaldi.net<\/a>; It is also a whole community. When i load their pages and watch the websites go buy in the lower left of firefox, i do not see many other sites go by besides vivaldi.net. In fact i just double checked now, and the ONLY website i saw go by was vivalid.net. Their servers are located in Iceland for, among other things, their commitment to free speech. It appears on first glance very open source mindset friendly.<\/p>\n

Their vivaldi mail is a hosted roundcube program. I have found roundcube only meh. But free as in freedom is a big plus. Altho this is just a first impression, i dont really “know” the community.<\/p>\n

The tech world is changing. There use to be “free as in beer” and “free as in freedom”. Now there’s also “free as in build a profile on you and sell it for ad targeting”.<\/p>\n

Some other notes:<\/p>\n

vivaldi does not (currently) require a cell phone to register. They require an alternate email which they use for “forgot password” retrieval. gmail and yahoo both require a cell phone these days.<\/p>\n

gmx.com<\/a> is another “very free” email. It is very Ad HEAVY. From a couple hours surfing, it has mixed reviews. Gmx has the advantage that it does not (currently) require a cell phone nor even an alternate email address to register. Their “forgot password” retrieval is based on a security question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
