[Noisebridge-discuss] finally transferring away from yahoo mail - Gmail, riseup other suggestions

[Ronald Cotoni]

I would suggest hosting your own.  Do not trust anyone else.  You should
learn a little about how a server works and do it that way.  This is to
prevent the NSA snooping that is going on and it only partially helps.   DO
NOT USE EMAIL BASED IN THE USA!
