What do I suggest in lieu of Gmail or some other large provider that may scan your email?  If it <i>really</i> matters to you, your <i>only</i> choice is to run your own mail server.  If you don&#x27;t control your endpoint, then I think no matter what you profess, you don&#x27;t <i>really</i> care.  Personally I just use a combination of Gmail (because I don&#x27;t care) and a POP&#x2F;IMAP account at my local ISP (which is not free).<p>If you want free email, expect to pay in some other way.  There&#x27;s no such thing as a free lunch.
