MyMail
In a world where email services send email in plain text across the Internet, scan private emails for marketing purposes and make users sign away privacy rights as part of their user agreements, MyMail is a breath of fresh air.  A university certified, private, secure email service that fully enciphers each email to the 256bit AES standards.  With an average cost of less than $10 a month, MyMail is a big step in the right direction of combining best security practices with the highest privacy standards.
