[dba-Tech] New mail

Hi Guys:

According to one fellow, he say that a lot of techs can not even fully test IE products because they don't even have the equipment on which to test the product. It sounds a little arrogant to me and lack of due diligence...but OTOH there are very limited number of OSs or even versions of Windows that the current IE runs on.

I will be testing it on my latest version of Firefox and Linux and then I may also have some complaints. ;-)

Hi Martin

No problem here with my Lumia 925 running 8.0.
Are you missing an update?

But it won't open all pages at that site as it claims IE10 in insecure because of its random generator ...

Hi Jim et al

Seems like Google has adopted the idea:

http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/making-end-to-end-encryption-easier-to.html

though that will work with Chrome only as an extension.

Hi Jim

The setup of ProtonMail should work. However, as can be seen already, a limitation is that they rely on own server capacity.

Security and email are becoming a solid consideration is offices and homes everywhere.

The question is how personal or business security can be acquired. See attached link, to an article, that is a well laid out over view of the issues and solutions.

https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org

To have a secure email account it must be protected end-to-end. A new startup has positioned themselves within Switzerland as the country has the toughest privacy rules and they are outside US, UK or any other country's legal jurisdiction, for that matter, so they can not be forced into compliance, now or at some time in the future.
