Secure email

[airbolt]

Can anyone recommend a secure email provider? ( ie https )

. I have a few gmail addresses but as this is webmail I'm not convinced it is very secure

gmail uses https, so I don't really understand your question.

yahoo is also https

I don't understand the question.

regardless of if you have HTTPS on the site when you write the email as soon as it is sent it will be using the SMTP protocol, which is not secure.

I'm trying to find a secure email . Sometimes the login page of gmail has an https address but the mail page is just an http.

However the messages are sent using SMPT which is not secure.

What is a secure way to send emails please, Chuckfickens?

There is no way to securely send an email as email is simply not a secure (or a guaranteed) service in any way at all and was never designed to be so it's inherently insecure.

You can encrypt the contents of the email so if it is intercepted it can't be read, but then you have to ensure that the recipient has a way to decrypt the message. if you google for encrypt email you'll find lots of information. this is typically easier to do using a proper mail client, such as outlook, rather than a web mail service.
