I use Gmail for everyday stuff that is not security important, another Ymail account for Internet signups and stuff, (the inbox is about 99% spam), and Protonmail for anything reasonably important. Too bad that Lavabit guy never has resurfaced with a secure and trustworthy platform. What is Snowden recommending these days?

I appreciate the Protonmail suggestion! One of the things that frustrates me about E-Mail is the fact that it is so hard to self host a SMTP/POP server without extensive experience and knowledge in the area.
I know there are some projects that are making that sort of thing easier (Sandstorm.io comes to mind,) but most E-mail infrastructure is so complex and centralized that I think it might just be time to come up with something new to supersede or replace E-mail. Something with encryption as a default, optionally anonymous, and peer-to-peer so self hosting is trivial. With centralization, I worry that political motivated censorship or loss of access may occur.
More than half of my online communication is via encrypted messaging apps like Telegram and Signal, and that includes friends and even some family. Yeah, Telegram is hard to figure out... is it secure or not? It is so feature packed and cross-platform that it's hard to get folks to switch to Signal. The need to basically redesign the Internet for security is widely accepted and being worked on. The Bitcoin Blockchain was like nitro on a fire as far as innovation goes. We'll get there.
Well it's September 2017 and Tutanota is still as slow as *%$#(a snail) Proton runs quite smoothly
I don't use Tutanota enough to tell if it too slow for a 'daily driver'. Protonmail has lots of active development and I like it a lot, but I'm extremely stingy in who I give a PM address to. Hope to keep it spam free as long as possible.
