Well, I been wanting to switch but can't find one I know I will like
long term. I don't want to switch then not like it and have to switch
again. Then maybe repeat that a few times. I was thinking about
switching to startmail but they started this captcha stuff which makes
their website unusable for me. Every time I clicked on something,
captcha. Click on something else, captcha. I stopped using startpage completely after reaching out to them and basically, getting little to
no real help. Shame really. Seemed like a good option.
If you know a email service that isn't to expensive but is secure, not
secure enough to block me from doing things I need to do tho, I'm open
to ideas. I'd like something that is outside the USA if possible. You
know, one of those countries that tells folks to go pound sand when they
want to snoop around. ;-)

ssmtp stopped working with a conventional password when Google
introduced 2-
Step-Verification for their GMail account. Consequently, to be able to continue using ssmtp you need to set up an 'App Password' and use the 16-
character password generated by Google to login:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833
It used to be the case you could set up an 'App Password' without having
to
provide them with your phone number and other 'none-of-their-business' personal information, but for some years now they have been asking for
more
information to allow you to complete setting up 'App Password' for your Google account(s) and device(s).
I also tried the 16 character password method too. It still didn't work.

That said, if you're interested in limiting opportunistic snooping, something

https://proton.me/mail
I'll have to check into that more. I'm not sure I could send my system emails through that tho. It sounds like it requires encryption end to end. I think.
