#3They use 256-bit with TLS 1.0 and support IMAPS, POP3S and SMTP which you can use with Thunderbird and also RoundCube web mail. Tested it my self works very well ^_^ In fact I found it better working for me then some premium services like HushMail.com or free service like Safe-Mail.net I'm very happy to find something that finaly just work without too many registration questions or phone activation.

#5At this point, I'm not really sure I can trust the "free" services, as there's always a "catch" or changes in TOS down the road when they want/need to make money.
I'm moving my main email to fastmail [1]. It's worth $10/year to not get ads shoved in my face or wonder who owns my data.

Because, to use an oft-quoted phrase on HN: "If you're not the customer, you're the product."
If I'm not giving them money, what am I giving them? Eyeballs? Data in my emails to mine?

#8They are virus-scanning and spam-filtering my email. So they at least have the ability to read all my email. Doesn't sound secure to me.

Its all about trust. Do you trust Google, Apple, Fastmail, the NSA? Do you trust them to not mine and market your data or metadata? Do you trust them to act responsibly in case of a catastrophic data leak? Do you trust them to not change their minds down the road?
Personally, I too have more faith in payed-for services than free ones. At least, they have some motivation to do the right thing.

An email address is for most people their single point of recovery for almost all of their online accounts, including services like Paypal. If you choose to trust an email provider, you are trusting them with access to your entire digital life, including finances. If you can't trust a service to responsibly manage your payment information (in the case of fastmail) how can they be trusted as an email provider? Someone could do far more damage to me with control over my email address than they could with access to my credit card details.
