I use gmail it is pretty good for me, no problem so far. It does not bother me that they at google read and spy your mails anymore. (Microsoft does that too, so whatever)
It's almost common place that we're spied upon everyday. If not our emails, its our text, calls, facebook, twitter, forum comments. The list goes on..they keep collecting until they find a reason to use it.
Truth. Sad truth, but still. A few years ago before Sno.wden and WikiL eaks, what you just said would have gotten you labeled a "nutcase conspi.racy theorist." There is definitely no privacy left in mainstream products/society, but it can be accomplished. Everyday they try to shut down part of anonymity, on the web and elsewhere. That is why everyone must call/write/lobby against CISPA, SOPA, and any others that will follow.
Anyways, on topic- I also use a hotmail email account for most everything. Same reason a few of you have said already, I've had it forever and it's just rolled with me through time. I expect no real privacy, and most major accounts have some form of 2FA.
What is a good place for me to start learning about and getting an encr.ypted email service?
