Recently, I've been testing Lavabit.com email service. It's a personal POP3 email account that easily could be accessed through Outlook or Thunderbird (which I personally prefer to the Outlook).

According to its founders it is one of the most secure email services in terms of privacy. They say that even their system admins couldn't read their customers' messages. Also they claim to be an alternative to Gmail.com who, as we know, as a part of Google.com has a lot of privacy related issues - especially targeted advertising possible due to algorythms scanning emails' content.

Anyway, it is good to know that there is an alternative and secure email account in case you need to send some "very important message" being sure it won't be read by a third party; however I won't move from my Gmail account as there are lots useful features as for yet.
