    Sorry i took so long........

    This is my take on Lavabit.I have never used it myself personally but i know some who do. It's like a catch 22. I wish i could give you more info from personal experience ....but i have none. Some i know swear by it. Some one i know hated it.
    Lavabit does provide a solid, secure email account which you can access in your email program using POP or IMAP and in your browser using a rudimentary web interface.
    Lavabit restricts statistical spam filtering to paid accounts and lacks a fully fledged web interface.
    Pros
    •Lavabit offers a reliable, secure and privacy-conscious email service.
    •You can access your mail via the web and using POP or IMAP in any email program.
    •Lavabit includes solid spam and virus filtering.
    Cons
    •Lavabit's web-based interface lacks convenience and features.
    •For free "Personal" accounts, Lavabit inserts ads in incoming messages.
    •Free Lavabit accounts do not include the precise, personalized junk mail filter.

    Thanks for the info Sean. I was looking into it because of the ability to use Thunderbird to download and read mail.
