Hushmail is one of the securest free email services we reviewed. They scan for viruses and filter spam with every message incoming and outgoing. Hushmail is the only free email service we reviewed that included a secure digital signature and email encryption with every message. You can create black/ white lists and block domain names as well as individual email addresses. Additionally, Hushmail offers POP3 access, and can be accessed from a third party email service.

Unfortunately, Hushmail’s cons outweigh it’s pros. Hushmail only offers 2 MB of inbox space. You can’t report spam if it happens to slip through the filters and you cannot create custom filters, to help sort or organize your inbox. Hushmail only includes a plain text message composer and does not have spell check.

Hushmail’s free service claims to include online storage; however, we were unable to activate this feature. The help section is sparse and there is no email contact to customer support.
