The MOST private email service
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- E-mail remains an essential backbone of internet communication, with over 4 billion users worldwide. But is it private? Actually it's inherently insecure. Furthermore, the vast majority of users rely on free online email services. Did you know that they use AI algorithms to scan your emails in order to learn more about you? Or that emails are stored in the clear, meaning in the event of a hack, all your emails would be leaked? Do you know what Metadata is and how much is collected by your email provider?
In this video, we go over what makes a good private email service and provide you with valuable suggestions for safer alternatives than the big names you are used to.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer for email, as it depends on your own threat model. But moving away from that old gmail or yahoo account is a GREAT place to start.

"If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product."
Even paying for the product doesn't protect you from being the product.
True that
yeah, gmail has paid options too
Interesting
So so umm anyone Exercise today if not let’s do And thank you for the information you were very helpful and I’ll see you tonight
That doesn't really equate to Open Source.
A cousin of mine bought airplane tickets for me and my family and sent them to my gmail account, Google then figured out we would be on vacation for a time range and started flooding us with ads of hotels and other places in that location, then even started sending me reminders when the time for the trip was close. What they do with your emails is criminal, laws should be promoted to criminalize this behaviour.
GMail is not mandatory, just close this sht and use Proton! :)
You actually literally agreed to let them do that. There's a setting that you can click or unclick for them checking your email to give notifications for things like that, and for giving targeted ads.
You should go to settings and change it.
@@lordgarion514 why is it on by default though?, that's malitious compliance
I suppose they should be allowed to do that. When you use their services, you agree to their terms. No one is forcing you to use googles services
Adblocks exist
I was taught from the start treat email like sending a postcard, anyone who comes into contact with it can read it.
Me too right from the get-go....back in the 90s I loved playing with PGP and various email anonymizers like (your own) Private Idaho, but now that I'm older I fall for the convenience of Google, etc.. For real privacy I use Signal like most people.
I'm glad people are working on this issue, however...thank you!
Absolutely NO privacy on the internet no matter how much they promise you...Never take for granted that nobody can't see or read what you do on your computer or the internet.
Get somebody that speaks American English for this presentation.
Not true... it's just very technically involved, and the principles are beyond most consumers.
For example, in terms of transport layer privacy, you can run TOR through an Onion Double-HSM that strips and re-pads. This avoids any traffic correlation attacks. Obviously, that's not nearly enough though. Some services and clients need to be rebuilt too, to avoid leaks (or to deliberately leak bad info in non-defeating manner) ... and you need a padding proxy (or network stack shim) on the client-side to ensure the HSM isn't running lean to begin with. You also need to take care of your DNS lookups and fully block direct network access.
Of course, doing this right means having, but not RELYING, on a filtering layer. So you'd almost certainly have to be running Linux or BSD, rebuilt for stronger opsec.
Tails in the usual Read-Only boot configuration is okay, but certainly not bombproof... my old group broke the privacy of a number of Tails users engaged in child porn and brought about a number of criminal prosecutions. And a TOR Browser package run under windows is a reasonable move for casual privacy, but is even more fragile (in a HUGE number of ways) against 0-day browser component attacks or technically strong, well funded or state-level actors.
Security/Privacy CAN be near mathematically demonstrable - but, it becomes impractical for all but the most well motivated.
The absolute pinnacle of security involves bespoke hardware. One Hackng group I know use SoC's using Xilinx with modified ARM cores, as hacking decks (think laptop, but uglier) - these SoC's enforce memory and stack encryption on a per-process basis, and have cache pre-fetching and speculative execution disabled. The virtual APIC is hardened. Sure, they're slow and deliberately inefficient... but running linux you wouldn't notice. If they need power (such as for cracking hashes) they just offload the task into private hidden cloud services via an onion. The local machine is little more than an interface.
Heck, you shouldn't even have internet access...
Back when I used to set up callcentres, we locked all the machines down so that they had no internet access, just the company private WAN over leased lines (and the occasional site-2-site VPN, performed transparently in the routers) ... So all browsing or social media was performed by clicking an icon that RDP'd to an ephemeral VM spooled up in a separate VMWare domain., which had its own 'sacrificial' upstream. Comms between the two LANs were restricted to RDP connections, set-up in one direction only. This kept the users happy, and let them run any crap they wished, in windows, whilst avoiding the need to expose the work LAN to any external traffic or apps. The users loved it because they could install pretty much anything they wished. The IT department loved it because it meant the agents machines boot images were read-only and unchanging, with all work files stored in a roaming profile.
And the intermediate routers were IP-less except the DHCP/gateway addresses, which didn't expose any management. If you did a Traceroute from a work machine, it was always one full hop to anywhere in the organisation, regardless of how many routers the traffic passed through. Can't easily attack infrastructure that you can't see or address.
Management of the network equipment was performed using a 'physically separate' management LAN, where EVERY device had a unique certificate.
Too many organisations, even most defence contractors, manage their security 'by the book' ... but, the book is wrong ; )
Point is, you absolutely CAN have near bombproof security. But, most people would't want it - or even understand the need.
If you or the Senders Device is compromised, ie Microsoft Recall, you have no Privacy...
Thank you, Naomi! I tried Tutanota, but when sending messages to those, (about 99.9% of my correspondents), with other email servers, they would need a code to navigate encryption and actually read it. To get this code to them, I would have to send it via another, less-secure email provider, thus rendering the whole concept worse than useless.
Crazy, right?
maybe you can send them the code through an app like signal that you both would have? I don't know.@@sk8ercaligirl
I believe the idea is to communicate the code directly, by phone, in-person, etc.
Once the other party has the code it can (afaik) be used for any future email communications.
However, in practice, I agree that this process, if used with more than a few correspondents (which is what you likely want), is burdensome and impractical.
Never put anything in an email, that you would not be quite happy for the whole world to read
Great advice
Don't put anything on the Internet or say anything over the phone that you don't want to see on the front page of the newspaper period that is a good general rule to live by
I just discovered your channel today and I'm watching your videos like a Netflix Tv-Series, waiting for the next one. Your capacity to explain vast majority of IT subjects as if we were 5 is great. Will be a plus for non-IT visitors looking for information! Thanks Naomi, well educated users are also the key to reduce cyber attacks!!!

When we are talking about security of email, we are talking about the SMTP protocol. SMTP messages outbound from a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) is ALWAYS conveyed over port 25. That means: No encryption, plain text transfer. And even if a MTA uses STARTTLS, once the email is outside of the internal network, there is no guarantee that a MTA in the middle won't transmit in plain text (i.e. won't use STARTTLS). If you stay in the same email ecosystem (e.g. GMail to GMail), there are some guarantees of security that at least email can be transmitted via TLS between the two parties and therefore won't be transmitted as plain text over the network. The most private email service is and has always been to host it yourself and not send email outside of your own network.
Build my own internet or use the post office. Got it.
A downgrade of a MTA hop would show up in the email header detailing the transport. You can also configure it to refuse unsecured hops and rather have a delivery failure. Exim is insanely configurable. POP3 and IMAP can also be secure. However email is a mess and has so many potential holes, that it is very tedious to plug them all.
That's why you can't believe claims from ProtonMail ! Only encrypted on the server, readable plain text when it arrives and leaves...
Plus they hand info to law enforcement.
If both sides use PGP and encrypt the e-mail, then no SMTP server can read the contents.
Proton mail keeps your security keys on their servers (it's how they allow you to auto access from multiple devices), which means they could just as easily give your security keys to authorities, or use them themselves, and also means that if someone ever hacks their servers, they can steal account addresses and keys for those accounts, which is pretty bad.
Also kinda boggled that you never mentioned Element when recommending secure communication services that aren't email.
Proton mail gave Swiss authorities tracking information about a French activist, the story is not even a secret.
They do give your data away and admitted to it.
ProtonMail is the next Encrochat.
Ever since email started I decided not to email anything unless I'd be good with it being on a billboard on a heavily traveled freeway. It truly amazes me how people email stuff that is very private, or even incriminating.
agreed, I don't think most people realize how insecure it is
Perhaps most people aren't criminals that need to worry about incriminating messages?
What does that say about you, one could wonder.
But that being said, if you want to use secure email, just set up your own email server. All you need is a PC that runs 24/7 and a domain name that that costs you $5 a year. All the rest you need, you can find in open-source software.
Whatever incriminating or private message you send out, you still need to trust your recipient with it and in ICT security, people are still the most unreliable factor.
You need to chill a bit. There are billions of people who use email sending billions of emails every friggen minute. Nobody cares about your basic emails.

I realized long ago that the current email system design is absolutely awful. Sadly, the people maintaining the email infrastructure and systems benefit from being able to snoop on your private messages so it's kind of like getting Congress to pass term limits. Why would they change things to something with which they can't make money? If anyone were goingto fix this problem with email, they would have done it by now. In fact, I would bet many have done so, but been bought off by big tech so they can keep reading your emails.
I like protonvpn
The locksmith always has a key to lock he makes.
Thank you Naomi. That was a clear, considered and informative lesson. Brilliant.
Outlook has one very important option. You can create an alias that is not possible to login with. That means you can create an accounut in any web service and feel safer cause even if someone knows what email (the alias) in the service you use, they still can't hack your email account.
Last time I used PGP was in 2007. In Thunderbird. Was the only encryption I actively ventured into. None of the folks I met since has asked for this or would actually know how to do it. I work in IT 😂
Well, there is S/MIME for quite a while now, too bad it's not used more widely.
Pgp was great until the feds opened up pgp providers .lmao
What do you think of GPG4Win?

Tutanota logs no IPs, but chooses to log Tor IPs.

@April Hudson - I agree 100% with you!
Yeah, I know that there are certain email providers that provide encryption but the problem with emai is that you have to have everyone else using encryption too to be of any use. Even with regular email providers you can send encrypted email but most people don't use it or don't know how to use it and it may not be compatible with most websites.
Great analysis! Thank you!
For me no GMail, no ProtonMail, no Tutanota, but... own mail server on own VPS.
I strongly advice against free ProtonMail... it can be blocked without notice.
How do you get your own mail server? Sorry I'm new to this.
@@62dobie search "hMailServer"
I am not tech savvy - how do you get your own mail on own VPS
@@michaelscheftic8892 the easiest is CyberPanel... just run a script in terminal. CP is provides many tools for self-hosted services. Check it out. However after a year I advice against own mail server on own VPS. The problem is that those VPS networks are used often by spammers and marked and blacklisted by many mail providers. Besides mail is unencrypted service so not that important in the end. I recommend to use simply mail service using e.g. domain provider.
VPS is great to run own VPN network... all my devices connected privately. Access to home server anywhere.
I was a StartMail beta user in 2014, and I've been using it ever since. I love the Aliases feature, which I can use to create multiple temporary addresses and sign up for new websites. If I start getting spam, I look at the recipient address and delete it from StartMail so the spam stops, but I can keep my primary address.
Is it open-source?
Well done. You brought out a lot of the details important to understanding the issues. Not just a simple features review.

Switching email is not that easy. I started transiting from Gmail to Proton 2 years ago. Still working on it.
Keep going
Same here as well
Try Forwarding
Why? I mean, I get keeping them, but it's usually easy to tell people and companies to switch.
@Newtube [You don't sound so sure.] It was just an overt way of saying I disagree with you..
Of course nobody has a gun to my head forcing me to use Facebook. And evidently, a gun to my head is the only way anyone would get me to use FB.
The point was, that every time you open an account of anything, they ask you for your email address, not your signal or whatsapp handle.
Nobody is forcing me to use email, FB, or even the internet. But using the internet without email is getting increasingly hard. Some do it, but not always convenient.
Try to do online banking without an email.
Ya, I kinda suspected there was some security issues with Gmail. But to find out that the problem runs through the entire system worldwide is a revelation. Some things you can't give up so easily tho.
Gmail is easy to give up tho, just switch to ProtonMail!

G-mail can be your junk e-mail. The kind of stuff you just don't care about or not that important. Aka no bank, activist, etc. Pick anything. sign to Facebook, etc.
Paid e-mail subscription or something with some with more security; I get a paid e-mail for friends, family, or anything that is important.
Bank have secure e-mail for communication on their web site for response.
Please make an update video about Tutanota and how the German gov forced them to create a back door in their program, essentially eliminating any worth for them.

I think so far these other email services are not posing a threat to the biggies so they are being left alone. But once they do expect changes to be made.
It surprises me that more oldsters like myself don't recall the Congressional Iran/Contra hearings in the 1980s, which informed the public that electronic messaging is not secure; where the e-messages assumed to be deleted could be retrieved months later.
In the 1980s prior to the internet WWW age, a forerunner of email was used by the Feds, known as IBM PROFS (Professional Office System), where staffers for the President Reagan administration were exchanging electronic messages, and deleting them afterwards.
In the Iran/Contra affair where there was a Congressional investigation in the trading going-on for money that went towards arming the Contra rebels in Central America against Communism; the investigators went into the PROFS that the National Security Agency/Reagan Administration were using to retrieve incriminating electronic messages. One of the participants in the affair, Colonel Oliver North, said in the Congressional hearing that it surprised him the PROFS notes (forerunner to email) were retrieved after they were deleted by him.
So, if the secured confines of the federal government PROFS could be breached, then it's nearly a no-brainer that the wide-open world of emailing is susceptible to security breaches.
Thanks, I've been using Proton for years. BTW...the glasses don't cover up how lovely you are. Thanks again....
For me, privacy is of paramount importance, I preferred the Utopia ecosystem, a decentralized p2p ecosystem, where the central server is in data transmission or storage. In my opinion it is very reliable and safe.
Very true, "Regimes come and go but stored data is permanent", as we now see with people's lives, careers and financial situation destroyed because of what they wrote many years ago. Unfortunately and is great you are warning and giving tips what we do, to live in a modern world and survive we now have no choice as when all the freebies came out and we became dependent on them i.e. our email address we were LOCKED IN. Been in the IT industry since 1982 training most used software and hardware products.

True with so many many of us who are now 5 or 6, or more, decades removed from our younger days, when we might've been a bit more rash, brash, impulsive, loud, and 'irrationally idealistic' (even if in all good intentions at heart), what many of us may have said or wrote (or, cringe, published) way back then, certainly is not where we are at today!
@@repentorperish1405 Me too, as I get older and various memories pop into my head, I just CRINGE to think I said or did what my memory is punishing me, now with. Also getting harder and harder to stop my brain punishing me.
The trouble is no email service offers end-to-end encryption. Email by its very nature is unsecure. Sure you can sign your messages with PGP but certain meta data like who the email is addressed to, what the email is sent from and the subject are sent out in clear text as the message travels between email servers.
Proton mail does
@@Btree33 yeah but Proton mail is owned by the spooks.
You didn't mention the most important detail: ProtonMail is based in Switzerland which is a politically neutral country and outside of US and EU Juristiction and no part of the 5/9/14 eyes alliance spy agreement. On the other hand Germany, is inside EU Juristiction and inside the 5/9/14 eyes alliance so if someone wanted to access your data they would do so without any court order. In Switzerland, Swiss Authorities will only issue an order if it's a seirous matter, and mostly they will not cooporate with goverments known to be authotorian. This alone for me Proton wins.

"Switzerland which is a politically neutral" - fairy-tales for blondes. Even bank accounts were exposed to USA when USA applied force. No more "privacy", world is changed.
Interesting subject and good advice thanks Naomi.
I never heard 3/4's of the companies you mentioned, I use Yahoo and Protonmail, don't have a smartphone just a £10 burner and use it because it's so convenient, I don't have a problem being targeted with ads for what I like, imagine just seeing ads you don't like.
With anything sensitive I'll send a letter.
It's a worry that people carry their whole world and life on their phones, the police and security services love how people conduct their lives on social media platforms, what they like and hate, what floats their boat, as you said, you are the data.
Unfortunately in authoritarian regimes where the military have taken over like Syria, Myanmar, Israel, Russia and China, they'll take your phone and charge you with data and emails you thought you'd deleted.
They read our letters using the scanners the mail passes thru I have been told. I haven't done any research myself so at present am just confused. If I could without severely crippling my abilities (meager at best) returning to my youth ,pay phones, snail mail, magazines etc. Would be much preferred after living both ways in this life.
Things were so much easier.

Wow nomie I should have been looking for your information before now. Plus you are soft on the eyes. Thanks and you have been noticed.
I’m a subscriber after watching this. So much here I never knew.
I’m so grateful, welcome!
A lot of good info here but people should be aware it's a lot of work switching providers.
I bought a domain last year when I was consideringsigning up for Starlink but didn't in the end. Frontier laid fiber a couple months ago so It was adios Spectrum. I've spent several days switching over a lot of sites and still have a few to go before my Spectrum disconnection; many sites send a email to the old address that you have to respond to, so changes need to be done while old email is still working. (I have 4 Gmail addresses, roo, for forum login, etc.) For me, it's been fairly easy as I have a list of everything that requires email login so I just run down it looking for ones with the old address; still need to make a couple passes to run down any stragglers.
Free doesn't mean bad. Linux is free, and it's still the most secure and most stable kernel. The bottom line is whether the source code is publicly available, such that anyone can check it for flaws. Paid or free doesn't matter.
Also, a better email is the one that *only supports plain text.* No images with potentially hidden traps.
It does matter, Linux is one of the rare unicorns that has a thriving open source funding model. Most open source projects don’t come close to being sustainable and if you’re relying on part timers to uphold your security you’re leaving a lot to chance. They other alternative is having something free that’s selling your data.
@@NaomiBrockwellTV I don't think they're so rare, though. In the security world I think they just recently started to crop up, but I could already name Keepass/KeepassXC, Veracrypt and IRC. They're all FOSS and none of them sell people's data, and their security and reliability is at the top of the scale (though IRC's safety depends on the person setting up the server, I suppose). The Brave browser seems to be heading there too, if not there already. I heard good things about Mastodon as well, but I never tried it.
As for sustainability, I don't think that's true either. Blender3D and Python are prime examples of it.
They're FOSS, and developed by people in their free time, as well as paid developers. Blender3D is practically an industry standard these days in the 3D/gamedev world, so you shouldn't underestimate the dedication of hobbyists in large groups (and keep in mind some professionals may also get involved).
I'm not trying to say it's a better model, everything has its pros and cons (and I'm not a FOSS apologist in the sense of the FSF, I just like free as in freeware). I'm just saying it can be, and I don't think it's rare, and it doesn't have to survive on shady stuff.
I think the main disadvantage in FOSS, is that it depends on popularity to get more and better developers involved. So they may take longer to become really good.
I forgot to mention Tor, Tails and CubesOS.
The very best security stuff out there is all free.
Don't say anything about "secure" if you know the word "systemd".

Is this a Naomi Brockwell video? Then I’m watching! 👍🏻
This may surprise you, but in the military there is a lot of data we don’t bother to encrypt. For example the enemy generally know where they are (unlike our officers, knowing where they are🙃). So if I’m going to drop artillery on them, why bother hiding that (they’ll figure it out pretty quickly).
So as a general rule if data is going to become stale before it can be analysed, why encrypt it? Additionally to break encryption, the more samples you have the better. Therefore we limit encrypted traffic. With that said there is data we need to encrypt.

Email still a nice way to share date, just need to make sure to encrypt the data if it's so deliciated.
They hold no control on the information once you have the file on your hard-drive ready to decrypt.
Always great videos and messages! Love your channel! Thank you!
Signal and so forth can still reveal your identity based on who you communicate with. You still need to compartmentalize very carefully to remain truly anonymous. Plus plus they require a phone number, so you have to make sure that can't be tracked back to you as well.
Interesting, although I was slightly surprised at where it ended up. I thought it was going to be a review of email clients, and ISP verse free services like gmail etc, although you did cover the last bit, just not ISP's
Totally off topic but i love your look.
All this data collecting and still can’t shut down all pedi sites
Yeah funny that
It's not "can't" my friend, it's "won't".
I combine iodéOS (privacy oriented Android OS blocking ads & trackers) with ProtonMail and it works like a charm I recommand those!
That's a fine doge you have framed in the background, you get a like. The actual video content was pretty good too.
The world is rapidly changing so adapting as quickly as possible is imperative. Thank you for helping us do that.
Naomi, great info !!!! (Thank-You so much, I really appreciate it.)
Nothing is, everything that has an app or software system on it can be screen shared, can be doesn’t have to be that’s the diff between a stalker and no stalker just can access your computer ..wrong!
Tbh, gmail was sort of ok until something called quora somehow got included and keeps spamming in it :(
I rememeber when My Yahoo Mail account got hacked 10 years ago.... Last time I ever used them for email, they were the most unsecure providers ever, even after changing my passwords.
When I use to work in an internship at my college, I was taking IT courses, and signed up for an IT internship position, the college professor that was incharge of the internship programs got an automated hacked message saying I was stuck in Europe and needed money to get back.
She called my supervisor freaking out about it he kept he telling her No I am not in the UK I am litterlally sitting next to him in his work van... We both looked at eachother like wtf???
The best part of it is;
SHE TEACHES INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER NETWORKING AND SECURITY COURSES!!
You'd think it'd be obvious to her that my email was hacked. 🤦♂️
Interesting story
BTW Blck I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. Link in my about tab.
Question: Naomi, your video on email privacy seemed to focus mainly on emails you send. But i receive 5 to 10 times a many emails as I send, emails from businesses, banks, brokerages, and codes for two-factor authentication.. Since these senders will not be Proton mail clients, what security does Proton Mail provide for these emails. Are they encrypted on the server?
Email is inherently insecure, none of those emails you receive are secured. The only way to have security is when you and the recipient both use an encryption scheme like proton or when you both use something like gpg key to encrypt. But a benefit to receiving to something like protonmail is that it's not being scanned on your side like it would in gmail, but there's nothing you can do to stop it being scanned on the sender's side.
Read both your question and Naomi's reply.
Seems like it's a situation of you want to use code phrases with your friend in a crowded elevator, and you said to your friend, "we are going to Laura's at 3 this Friday."
And he just responded, "thought we were going rob that Wells Fargo bank at that time." ;)
And the stage question with the social media influencers is great. This chick is backed by a franchise and is just the mouth piece
@@christinajane7311 huh ??
Why would anyone use email or SMS for 2fa ❗
An email is basically a postcard. I say this to people sometimes. Whoosh!
I also respect Edward snowden
Using an E2E encrypted e-mail with password being changed every 4 hours, writing random strings as subjects, sending them to several intermediary boxes through several secure VPN services, writing every message in a dead dialect of ancient Sanskrit and encrypting the messages on the fly with one time, 4096-bit key which is memorized by both parties from birth and never disclosed. Then the next key is used.
Said no one.
PS: I like your style! :)
My dear goddess of beauty owner of the sweetest voice in the world :
I have to confess that is extremely difficult to focus on the contents of your videos while drooling on the video.....
Keep up the good work and may God bless you always !
I like her style
Best explainer i've seen! Thanks :D
Did she say “so given that MOIST of us” ?? 1:24, lol
Another great video. Well explained too! I’ve been looking at Proton mail but to benefit, I’ll need my friends and newsletters to use it too I think? That’s some while off yet, I imagine?
Nobody mentioned Spark email app
Naomi, did you start selling secure phones?
You explain really nice and pour in lot of information. Happy to stumble upon this channel today and subscribe it. BTW you look great.
Thanks for being here!
Only if one has her level to understand her nice expectation.
With all due respect, you're gorgeous to an unscalable level.
I pay for protonmail and their VPN, and I still don't consider it safe. I talk about important stuff *in person.*
Well explained, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a perfect argument against every other crypto besides Bitcoin. You don't change the base protocol (bitcoin protocol), you build on top of it (lightning)
The catch with using secure services is it represents a flag that signals you may have something to hide.
Two more privacy-oriented services worthy of consideration are CTemplar email (based in Iceland) and Briar, an open-source messaging app for mobile phones. This is not a recommendation; it is only a suggestion that may be of interest.
Absolutely! That’s why I’d like to seem privacy normalized
@@NaomiBrockwellTV I have been trying to do make privacy and security universal for the past thirty-odd years. Alas, no luck yet, and stupid old habits never change, so far as I see. Showing people that their security is broken or weak is often met with a hostile response and denial, in my experience. Whistleblowers are seen as trouble.
excellent speaker very eloquent well done Naomi
I hope proton which i use will have no problem in the future.
Rob Braxman says proton is not safe.
I'm embarrassed to admit I just found your channel. Subscribbed.
Valuable information as always. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Every free services you get, you are the product. Always like that
@Naomi Brock well
Sorry but I just have to ask, are you an Aussie?
Great info, by the way, cheers.👍🏽
Yes I am!
@@NaomiBrockwellTV
Appreciate your reply, thank you.
🤟🏽🇦🇺🌏🇦🇺🤘🏽
Pretty much the only thing I use e-mail for is website registrations. I do not accept any billing statements thru e-mail as they could be fake, nor do I respond to any email with e-mail. If it looks important I call or visit the office of the sender. I've been leery of e-mail since it became "a thing".
I like this vid. Good insight.
