I've started transitioning years worth of Yahoo emails into a more private and functional email system. Yahoo mobile has been an under-par app for me with countless issues.
Beside I'm tired of receiving dating adds
what is the more private email system you chose?
Vastly more when it comes to Yahoo! (and perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree but still way more when it comes to AOL).
I am interested in why you consider Hushmail second? I am currently trying to migrate from Gmail but all these services I am afraid might shutdown any minute, and your email account is the place where all your lost passwords get sent to.
My current problem with protonmail is that there is no mobile app(i know one is in the works) and that extension @protonmail.com is kind of long compared to @yahoo and @gmail.
Me too, I looked at other web mail options like outlook but I prefer yahoo's simpler format, although it was much better when it was Classic Yahoo. Marissa Mayer keeps screwing around with yahoo and is ruining pretty much everything she touches.
Not really news as they've had many many users and will continue having quite a few (even if less over time).
I keep my yahoo mail address but just recently started using Spark. I like it so far. Very easy and intuitive.
Gmail is simple, secure, and eternal
It only exposes your life to a commercial company that sells that information to other commercial companies. There is probably someone in HQ reading your emails.
Research it. It's made by Readle. Very well respected developer. I can say with confidence that it will be around. Lol

Years worth? Wow. I have 30-day rule set on my mail, all sent mail is deleted. Having to manage my email is NOT one of those things I want to have to worry about. Generally, I'll have about 600 messages in all my inboxes for any 30-day period. I figure 30 days is enough for me to need, in case I need to go back and look at something. I know people who have *years* worth, like 30GB worth on Rackspace, etc. Not for me!
I sometimes need to go back to things from a year or two ago, usually not much more than that, but once in a while even that. Doesn't hurt to have it all just be stored there. I guess if you run out of space that's different, but I have years worth and it's only taking up a little over 5 GB thus far. That said, to each his/her own of course.
I have 10+ years worth of email stored on Yahoo.
I will say their search works well. It can find all that old email. It did take them a very long time to finally add sub-folders though.

I just hate the layout.
Too bad Microbloat can't make Outlook.com look like Outlook itself. I do like Outlook
I'll take a look
Looks like Spark is an email app for smartphones.
I need an online email service for my computer. The search continues.....

Hushmail is slightly less secure than ProtonMail but has been around for years. I must admit that PM is more likely to be shut down than HM. PM is very slowly ramping up so in the meantime I have been archiving my Yahoo emails to PDF files and using both PM and HM for daily business. I will soon get to the point where shutting one down will not have a major impact.
Been trying the new Yahoo! mobile for almost a week now and I'm just amazed at how every versions introduces bugs or keeps lowering the feature bar by removing the ability to manage folders and empty Trash and Spam folders... unless I missed it?!
Hush mail has been around for 16 years. Thats longer than Gmail and about just as much as Hotmail
e-mail don't have to be encrypted, I just don't want the privacy policy to let employees look around in them and sell my information to other businesses. I will stay with PM for now, the scary part is PM is very new and the guys working on it look like they might quit any minute.
