| |
− | <h3>Recommended</h3>
| |
− | <p>Some of these services are gratis, but that's a separate issue.
| |
− | Recall that "free software" refers to freedom, not price.
| |
− | <ul>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://openmailbox.org">OpenMailBox</a>: <strong>Runs explicitly on free software</strong>. Service started in June 2013.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://posteo.de">Posteo</a>: <strong>Fully compliant with LibreJS's standards, but a bug in LibreJS causes the site to not work when the plugin is enabled. Does not work without JS</strong>. Credit card payments do not work.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://riseup.net">Riseup</a>: Geared more toward activists - they have a manual screening process. Signup works with LibreJS. SquirrelMail (works without JS) can be used to access webmail, POP/IMAP clients can also be used. To access Squirrel mail, access the online mail client page, and select the "old webmail(squirrelmail only)" link.</li>
| |
− |
| |
− | <li>Some services will let you sign up and sign in without non-free JavaScript, and use IMAP/POP3 from a desktop program, but have broken webmail:
| |
− | <ul>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://kolabnow.com">Kolab Now</a>: Swiss based paid service focused on ensuring your privacy. Highly resistant to PRISM and similar programs. Runs on free software. Currently becoming LibreJS compliant.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mailnesia.com">Mailnesia</a>.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://safe-mail.net">Safe-mail.net</a>.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://vfemail.net">VFEmail</a> (uses google syndication, and captcha - both non-free).</li>
| |
− | </ul>
| |
− | </li>
| |
− | </ul></p>
| |
− |
| |
− | <p>For privacy purposes, you may sometimes want to use a disposable email address for one or a small number of messages. These disposable email services have been verified to work without proprietary JavaScript:</p>

| |
− | <h3>Not Recommended</h3>
| |
− | Systems we've investigated and found wanting.
| |
− | <ul>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://fastmail.fm">FastMail</a>: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly. This is a paid service with a 60-day free trial. - UPDATE: was notified that this is not the case.</li>
| |
− | <li>Google <a href="https://gmail.com">Gmail</a>: You can sign in and use Gmail without non-free Javascript, but you have to make the account in a special way, through <a href="https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount">https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount</a>. This is an old sign-up form; the currently recommended sign-up form is no good, since it requires nonfree JavaScript code. But Gmail is run by Google and was specifically named as part of the PRISM spying program.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mail.ru">Mail.Ru</a>: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly. BEWARE though - it is almost certainly under governmental surveillance, and likely does not respect privacy.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mail.yahoo.com/">Yahoo! Mail</a>: works without JS apparently, but you need JS enabled to create a yahoo account</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mail.yandex.com/">Yandex Mail</a>: You can register and sign in with LibreJS enabled, but not send mail in the no-js interface. Also: looks to be Russian based, so almost certainly under surveillance.</li>
| |
− | <li>Microsoft <a href="https://outlook.live.com/owa/">Outlook.com</a> (@outlook.com, @live.com. Old emails: @hotmail.com, @msn.com): Requires nonfree Javascript.</li>
| |
− | </ul>
| |
− |
| |
− | <h3>Under Review</h3>
| |
− | These are systems either currently under review, or undergoing a status change.
| |
− | <ul>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://autistici.org">Autistici/Inventati (A/I)</a>: Sign up needs JS. They are working on becoming LibreJS compliant, but no ETA on this yet.<!--Mail sent to info@autistici.org, asking for account. Tried to start again - 2015-03-11 - couldn't use signup form. (2015-05-13) got response from their support people. They're working on making it compliant - but no promise on an ETA--></li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://hushmail.com">Hushmail</a>: Site doesn't load without JS.<!--2015-01-15 - Site doesn't load without JS. Pretty much all blocked by LibreJS.--></li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mailbox.org">mailbox.org</a> JS needed to register or use system. <!--20161016--></li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://mailoo.org">Mailoo.org</a>: <strong>Explicitly states it runs on free software. Currently French only - would appreciate help translating</strong>(registrations were closed as of 2017/01/25).</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://protonmail.ch">ProtonMail</a> JS needed to register or use system.<!--Get a message "JS must be enabled to encrypt and decrypt mail in the browser" (2015-05-12)--></li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://tuffmail.com">Tuffmail</a>: Registration form didn't need Javascript, though an application attempt resulted in no actual account being created. Investigations continue.</li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://tutanota.de">Tutanota</a>: Looks promising - they're working on becoming LibreJS Compliant.<!--2015-05-13 - LibreJS blocks pretty much all scripts on the page - js needed for registration. They do look keen on GPLv3 and security, as well as libre/freedom, so look promising. 2015-05-15 - had reply from hello@tutao.de (Arne) - they're working on it.--></li>
| |
− | <li><a href="https://unseen.is">Unseen</a>: Site doesn't load without JS.</li>
