I wanted to recommend the new email provider I got a few months back- Proton Mail. Its based out of Switzerland and its encrypted. If you email another Proton Mail user the whole communication is encrypted. Its super secure and discreet and the folks at google dont have access.  Ive been using it for a while now and I like it alot.  I used the freebie version for a while then upgraded. They both are good. But the upgraded version allows you to organize stuff better. I've happily noticed a few other providers have also changed to Proton. So check it out.

I have noticed a lot of both clients and escorts that are now using Proton mail.

Nice. I didn't realize there was a free version. I'm in!

Plus there is an app for Protonmail for the Apple iPhone which can make answering emails on the go a breeze.  

I set up an account whenever that last thread about it was on here.  Seemed to work good but I have not
used it much because I figured as soon as I send an email to a gmail account it's not encrypted anymore.
Anyone know if that's the case?  Wonder if it only works if both parties are using the proton account?

to your questions luckily are answered here: https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/what-is-encrypted/

Hey thanks a lot LJ.  Good info to have.  Guess I should start using that account more than I do and instead
of gmail.   Thanks again!
