Has anybody used HushMail [0] or ProtonMail [1]? How does it stand against both free services like GMail/Yahoo or paid ones like FastMail?

Hushmail should be considered compromised. They have turned over plaintext emails to US law enforcement in the past.[0]

Thanks, this is interesting.
So, ProtonMail [0] and Tutanota [1] appear to be better choices.

On the data-privacy front, you may also be interested in Unseen[0], which has servers in Iceland, and Lelantos[1], which routes over Tor. I haven't used either service but they've come recommended. ProtonMail looks interesting.

Hush user here for 2y already. I've the desktop paid account and I'm very happy with it (POP+IMAP)
They seem to be more privacy oriented than popular ones. Web UI is nice but maybe not "so nice"? (I do not use it so freq.)

I'm a paid Hushmail customer since 2010 I think.
Their web interface is sub-par and sometimes it's pretty slow to connect.
I was thinking to change for Fastmail but they're a bit more expensive and the mails are stored in the US I think (I'm French).
I'll probably investigate this in December when my hush subscription is due.
