I don't know if you're the webmail kind of guy, but you can check out Lavabit.com, too. I've been using that for years and never had any problems. They basically started out as a response to Gmail's initial privacy concerns.

Yeah I've been with them since before Gmail and never considered switching.

I hope the guys made out well financially in the deal. Nice to see the effort and dedication pay off for them.

I still use fastmail because I don't like Gmail...

I absolutely agree - unfortunately, Gmail doesn't work great for everyone.
