(not sure if encrypted but should be as they are a

Another option is to run your own mailserver and use encryption :)
There's also hushmail.com which is a lot like protonmail
except hosted here in Canada. They offer a free tier and
paid upgrades.
Even though they're based in Canada they seem to charge
USD, which is a sore spot for me. Right now USD$49.98 =
CDN$60.24.
If you're based in Canada, stop ripping off fellow
Canadians. Charge Canadians in CAD and charge the rest of
the world in USD.

This is very possible.. only the downside is you have to maintain and
run your own mailserver; and unless you have owned the domains and ip's for many many years you will find deliverability problems here and
there (especially with large providers). Also, if anything happens in your region will you have redundancy backup service so you don't lose important emails?
If you host on a VPS with a decent provider you can fair better and
then use a service such as Hoppy (a hosting vpn service aimed at just
this type of forwarding (meaning they don't block SMTP or allow abusive behaviors that get ip's blacklisted on major networks); but then you
end up spending WAAAY more than free email costs and significantly more than a paid email account with a provider costs, probably.

I don't see a free option anywhere on their site.

Yeah.. seems ironic that a Canadian biz doesn't offer a fixed CDN
price as an option. But that's probably because they don't care
what country you're in. You sign up, with name, password, generate encryption keys, and go.

prior so that the sender knows mail can't get through... however if there's communication *that* important, there's a device called a telephone that alexander graham bell invented that works perfectly to
this day :) I tell my clients this all the time when they become too dependent on email. May sound a bit snarky but you can't argue fact.
My issue is that since my email address is so old, it's basically in almost every spamhouse db you can think of. I don't understand why the United Socialist States of America think it's fair I pay money for spammers to suck up my bandwidth with emails I don't want nor signed up for.
There's also a big push to eliminate SMTP. Some tech experts say that emails will be eliminated in a couple of years if not sooner. I'll actually believe that when I see it.

It doesn't matter that much. Most of emails conversations aren't
encrypted anyway. If you want an encrypted inbox, just retrieve mails
from the (webmail provider's) server and encrypt it at home. Use a mail client or browser plugin for PGP.
For really private stuff use p2p FTN Netmail over Tor Onion Service ;).

Some of us are difficult to reach by phone - first, I may not be able
to answer, and I don't use voicemail. :P Secondly, I may not have time
to deal with the call, certain times of day are no voice (or video) activity, and finding time to return a call is equally problematic. ;)
I'm a bit the same. ;)
Yeah I can't see that happening anytime soon.

I don't do voicemail either, at least on my cell. I get so much spam on that thing it's unreal... so I don't even set the mailbox up. Texting
is my preferred method of contact, email second, phone call 3rd. If 1&2
fail, try #3. I won't do Video! I'm a former radio DJ... video is TV
which I had no desire to do even back in the 70s.
What's a shame is they're supposed to give you an opt-out option by our laws but what they do is once you click it and verify you want out,
your email address is then sold to 50 others! The new trick that some
of the mail admins have been doing (and I've been doing it now for
years prior) is take an incoming email's IP, look up the CIDR block and firewall the whole darn block! Most of the larger offenders come from
data centers who don't give a hoot who they sell space to such as OV,
AWS (where Winlink is!) and others.
Yeah I can't see that happening anytime soon.
Me either. Too many businesses live on two apps:
deFacingBook and eMail. I can see the second app... NOT the first.

All the more reason to use voicemail. Afterall, it's simply the
audio version of offline email/echomail/qwk that you enjoy.
The onus seems to be on us to configure server-side filters as
best we can to block or discard emails that we don't want.
Vk3jed wrote to N1uro <=-
I just find it fiddly, you get a text, have to call back, get the
message, write down any details, delete the message, delete the text.
What a load of.... :D And all that only to leave a message on the
other person's voicemail! :D
Video for me is on the same level as a phone call. I do use video for telehealth, however.
That sometimes works, some use hijacked PCs on botnets too. More IP blocks to nuke. :)

Or be like me and ignore everyone equally <G> Just don't delete
anything until you know you've responded.

I don't do video. A higher up in our military has told me that video is
a lot easier for those looking to cause bad intentions to crack into. I don't even have a camera on my PC, and I use electrician's tape to
cover those on my phones. If I can get into a phone, which my older
ones I can...I simply open them and take the cams out.

WWell, you're not going to get an answer from me, if you manage to
leave voicemail. Chances I won't even know you did! :D

Good luck leaving me one on my cell - I refuse to set the mailbox up
so it just tells you that it's not set up and hangs up on you <G>
"Look gang! It's Tony's favorite type of Voicemail box!" haha

Sometimes too good of a friend, but better safe than sorry.

I've seen people advertising Matrix on BBSes. Curious if it is the same [apache] matrix and how it is being used. A bit of a context-switch
here, but interested in the project, as I've never used it.

Matrix is kinda like the best bits of IRC and the best bits of
discord, with none of the bad bits (I could be way off) plus it's decentralised, end to end encrypted, and you can code your own apps to
use within it. I have made a qUAntUm RaDio app and a bbs announcer app
for our matrix community.
