Could this work with Mailvelope? Because I prefer to send my PGP mails right from the google webmail.
Encrypt your e-mail with PGP and random profanity

#52Despite the banality of this project. I think the idea itself could be interesting: That is, mapping your encrypted email into authentic looking text. Sending the text. Then your receiver would need to know that the text is encrypted (don't tell them in the email). This /might/ be a temporarily effective dodge against bulk storage of PGP encrypted emails.
This lets you hide bits in punctuation changes (or whatever else you want): https://github.com/countrygeek/stegparty/blob/master/stegpar...

The mailbox at your house doesn't require security patches, trouble-shooting, upgrade cycles, and that's just the software stack itself. When you get to the issue of blacklisting/deliverability that's a whole new set of problems. Ultimately, I do want to run my own email server but not until it's a lot closer to 'fire-and-forget' (which for me, will be something Unikernel-based).
Zimbra is pretty much what you are after it sounds like. Just set it up once, and it just works. Just keep the OS updated and install any updates Zimbra releases. There is some manual work to get it going up front, but it's not hard. The only way you can guarantee your email is kept private and not shared to any gov't agency or anything is to run it yourself. Then at least they have to serve you directly to get your…
What kind of a box do you really need for that, though? The requirements seem to say 4G of RAM, which seems to demand a big VPS or a dedicated box... (would be $40/month for a 4G RAM VPS at digital ocean or Linode)

Alternatively setup your own free mailserver. Its always been a puzzle to me why so many people just don't own their own mailserver, just like you "own" your mail box at your property. You can use spamassasin which is as good as they come. Problem solved.
For me, it's because GMail is hands-down the best email client I have EVER used. For comparison, I have used at length on a daily basis Pine, Elm, Agent, Mutt, Thunderbird, Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes and GMail. GMail is so stupidly better I can hardly believe nobody's done a decent fat-client imitation.
Oddly, I used to feel the same. I recall vaguely liking Mutt back in the day, but I really liked gmail. Especially with the keyboard shortcuts enabled (and without... I actually hate it).
Not that surprisingly, the lure of emacs really hit me and I find gnus to be a better interface now. Much better.

#55I must be out of the loop..."dongle" is profane?
Possibly a mild reference to male genitals?

#57I could see the US Navy be interested in this technology. You would be unable to tell an encrypted message from normal discourse with a sailor.
Gah, true. But would that mean that you would be allowed to swear at someone higher up in the hierarchy, if you were a sailor?

You could also use a paid provider that doesn't show ads

BTDT and it was a huge relief when I moved my domain to Google Apps and started using Gmail. Unless it's gotten hugely more effective than it was a few years ago, Spamassassin is nowhere near as good as Gmail at recognizing spam, and spamfighting was the biggest of many chores involved in running my own server. I was constantly having to tweak and refine things to keep my spam filtering effective.
I don't miss running my own MTA. At all.

#59I was amused by the use of git as profanity on github.
I never heard that used as profanity, is it a regional or an obsolete thing?

Take a look at https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox It's not production ready yet, but it aims to be suitable for cheap VPS (current requirement is 1G of RAM, IIRC).
