[tor-talk] Email provider for privacy-minded folk

[bvvq]

Hi tor-talk,

I'm not sure where else to ask this question so I give my apologies if 
this is off-topic. Please feel free to suggest a better list/forum/website.

I've had a personal email account with GMail since it was invite-only, 
but lately I've read a few stories about Google's use of our emails to 
provide better targeted advertising to its users. These stories make me 
uncomfortable and, continuing with my (slow) changeover from Google 
services and products, I would like to change.

In no particular order, what I would like from the email provider is:

  * Privacy-conscious (don't parse my emails to target advertisements to 
users)
  * Reasonable storage space (I have currently have 418 emails using 
~100MB in my personal GMail account)
  * Don't close the account if I don't log in with the web interface in 
{X} days
  * IMAP preferred but POP will suffice
  * Free would be nice (I don't want to lose my email account if I lose 
my job)

Anonymous-/encryption-type services offered by HushMail or Safe-Mail 
aren't a priority for me; I mostly want something reliable, 
long-lasting, and not doing a Google on my emails.

I appreciate your advice.
