Hello bvvq: Gmail is horrid. The only way I can think of to get Google of my path is to encrypt all the e-mails I send through them. The only problem is that I can't get anyone I know to download the software they would need to decrypt. I'm pretty sure the only way around all that is to get a paid type of account.
I think the next-best thing might be to delete the e-mails off your server after you download them to your computer. -Myserious Flyer On Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:47:53 +1100 bvvq <beveryveryqu...@lavabit.com> wrote: > Hi tor-talk, > > I'm not sure where else to ask this question so I give my apologies > if this is off-topic.
