BBC: Snowden link to encrypted email service closes
Texas-based Lavabit service has shut down but said legal reasons prevented it explaining why.

In addition, secure communications firm Silent Circle has shut its email service because messages cannot be kept wholly secret.

Mr Snowden, a former contractor to the American National Security Agency (NSA), has admitted leaking information about widespread US surveillance on electronic communications to the media.
He fled the US – where he now faces espionage charges – and has been granted temporary asylum in Russia.
Lavabit came under scrutiny following reports that Mr Snowden was using the service while holed-up in Moscow airport.

Obviously one of the most excellent approach to stay faraway from getting selected up
by an email reaper is not to set your email anywhere over
a website as well as in your own. The growing number of software
mainly created to obtain confidential data has proven that this type of
danger is not taken lightly. Some classes may
need large file downloads or video streams that may take a virtual eternity to download using a regular dial-up
modem.
