Of course how can you ever know that even if an email company says that your information is totally private that is really the case? Especially in the case of smaller, more obscure email providers, like some of the ones written about on this forum, it would be impossible to know if the person or persons in charge aren't simply reading through your emails for fun and profit.

Read the comments on this article. Some seem to think Proton Mail's encryption is not so secure. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archiv....html#comments
