That's my problem with these encrypted services: they lock you in. It makes me feel queasy, but at the same time, it ain't google or yahoo or whatever.

I agree. I have privacy concerns, but ultimately, I think I care more about freedom and open source. I have very real concerns about the rise of authoritarianism in America, and I'm trying to balance that against a preference for more open services like mailbox.org and fastmail.
