Ask HN: So which email service does provides privacy?

Email is inherently insecure. Even with PGP encryption, metadata is always transmitted in plain text. LavaBit encrypted message bodies as soon emails entered their system, and they were still susceptible to government influence.

You have a few possibilities. The most secure is setting up your own system on your own server. Sure, unencrypted data can still be picked up on route but this is probably the best solution for increasing privacy. If it is too much of a hassle for you to set up and admin postfix, etc. yourself, then choose a small email specific hosting company that has a strong privacy statement - this in general should be more private than GMail, Yahoo mail, etc.

Any in specific? Or just any replacement for lavabit?

OpenMailBox: http://openmailbox.org

Autistici: https://autistici.org

Trick question. No service does, only your own.

Even your own provides full privacy?
