    FAQ: How do I change my e-mail password

    Visit the e-mail control panel linked at the top right of this page, login with your full email address and current password. Once logged in, click the blue Edit link beside your email address and set your new password, enter it again for confirmation and click submit.

    If you have forgotten your password order a password reset. We verify the account holder by a phone call. We cannot reset your PGP password as you are in full control of your PGP keys.

    FAQ: Email attachments on Webmail

    Due to a bug in the upstream PHP+Webmail software, the webmail software is reporting that mail with attachments is not sent due to a timeout. Please carbon copy (cc)  your own email address and check that you got a copy. If you did, the mail was actually sent.

    About Security

    True communication security happens on your computer. The security product must be open source (no back doors). The operating system must be secure. The encryption must happen on your computer and the decryption on your correspondent's computer. OpenPGP satisfies these tests for email, OTR for instant message and ZRTP for voice.

    Ubuntu Linux is the easiest to use open source operating system out there - easier than Mac or Windows in our opinion. You can run Windows in a VirtualBox inside Ubuntu - at the same time. You can 100% encrypt the hard drive right from the alternate install CD. Ubuntu has OpenPGP, OTR, and ZRTP straight out of the box as well as a full office suite. You have nothing but your fear to lose.

    Use the diceware method for secure, memorable passphrases. At least 5 words for 64 bit security. 10 word passphrases give you 128 bit security. For the technically savvy and impatient, a perl based diceware program is available. Use a decent cross platform password manager.

    Backups

    We recommend that you create backup copies of important email. Although we use RAID 1 and other methods of protecting email stored with us, creating backups are your responsibility.

     

    Supported Software: Thunderbird and Enigmail

    FAQ: Can we use Outlook / Eudora / Applemail / Etc. ?
