Most Secure Email

PokerPie · 09-27-2008, 08:00 AM

I keep reading it is a bad idea to use Gmail or Hotmail for your WHOIS.

I am a relative tech n00b and don't understand how to go about setting up email for one of my domains. I would like the absolute most secure solution possible.

I have lots of random domains I could hook email up to. Please let me know how to proceed. Should I just take GoDaddy's email option? Some other 3rd party service?/

How do I access the email on a regular basis? Via a webmail interface or can I just forward it to gmail or ???

Thanks!

An email address from your Internet Service Provider is the best option. Most ISP's will either give you an email by default or one should be available for a nominal charge.

That isn't an option for me, thanks though.

Well, also most of the hosting companies offer emails, if You host Your sites somewhere.

My way of using e-mail: creating aliases for each different use (for instance, a different alias for each registrar, which means it is easy to delete and replace in case that specific address becomes spammed). Very easy to create forwarders if you own domain names - and you can include them as "real" addresses in your mail client if you use IMAP, for instance.

But where to forward to? Gmail.... well, I know it is quite good, but I prefer to have more independent solutions. Currrently, I see two top solutions for e-mail, strangely borth Australian ones, though unrelated:

1) AlienCamel (www.aliencamel.com), extremely pleasant interface, good IMAP implementation, you have an AlienCamel address, but you can choose another address to show in the header. Extremely good sorting of spam, after an initial training. No autoreply, unfortunately.

2) FastMail (www.fastmail.fm), for people more technologically inclined - austere and somewhat intimidating interface (but fast, fast...), not like the pleasant AlienCamel one, but extremely powerful, alloows you also to add your own domain name for e-mail. The best solution for techies.

Both offer trial periods, if you want to see by yourself. I liked both, so I finally subscribed to both!

I don't know about that I use the webmail provided by 1 and 1. and it stinks. It smells real bad.

I may be mistaken but I think you are confusing ISP and Registrar/Host. An ISP, in my understanding, is like Cox or Verizon, while a registrar/host is a company like GoDaddy or 1 and 1. He was suggesting taking email from Cox or Verizon. I don't get my internet from somebody who provides email addresses so it isn't an option for me.
