Another alternative is http://www.runbox.com/ - hosted entirely in Norway which has strong privacy laws.


Is Runbox still storing account passwords in plain text?

They looked like a great option but when I set up an account recently they emailed me my username and password in plain text. I cancelled immediately but if they get the security basics right I may look at it again.


Whilst I can't condone the sending off passwords over in plain text, if done at the registration stage it doesn't necessarily mean that they're being stored as plain text.


There is absolutely no reason any service should ever email you back your password.
