Crap, I had just recently migrated all of my accounts to my new Lavabit address, paid for a year of service, etc. Although I've seen some mentioned, what recommendations does HN have for a new e-mail service? Preferably something stable and also respecting of a user's privacy. Or perhaps you can only have 1 of the aforementioned attributes.
> Lavabit processes 70 gigabytes of data per day, is made up of 26 servers, hosts 260,000 email addresses, and processes 600,000 emails a day. That’s a lot of email.

EDIT: I turned my frustration into a $100 donation to his legal defense. I hope that more people do the same.

I just lost access to my primary email account.
I now have a trail of being under my Lavabit account. Commits, patches, websites, services, friends all thinking I'm still under that account. Now I've got to do it once again, only a few weeks later.
Sigh. I can't blame Lavabit really. Just a situation I'd hope to avoid.
Time to donate to the EFF. They haven't been branded as a terrorist charity yet, AFAIK...
