My own mail server. I should add third party client and remote in box access though.
I don't want to hijack the thread, but that sounds interesting. Mind giving some more details?

Actually, I'd say it's relevant. I'm kind of interested myself. Discuss if you like. :D

Gmail works great. I use gmail for my private email. We are forced to use outlook for our school mail though T_T
We have to use Gaggle. DIE DIE DIE
We use whatever the hell we want. :w00t:

Yeah well if you don't want Google to snoop, use PGP. :P
Heh heh, I actually just got some PGP stuff set up. (If someone wants to sign me ;D)

There are extensions that can actually apply encryption to webmail clients like Gmail. IIRC even Google itself is working on an official PGP extension for Chrome.

I personally like Gmail. All my emails are gmails with the exception of the one I use in China (qq)

Yeah, with things like postfix, you can mount your own server.

I should have been more attentive to network lessons though. i do'nt relaly remeber the exact procedure to mount correctly the server.

if you can stomach it, setting up your own server for mail is really not bad. there are good, any-purpose VPSs out there for 5-7.50 USD a month, and you'll suddenly have somewhere that you can do all sorts of things, like znc, file hosting, personal web sites, etc

Would you mind giving us tips into mount a clean server, please? I've been through many tuts and I don't feel having it done correctly.
