You will find some hints and pointers to enlarge your privacy, but keep in mind that security is not a product but a process ; you will have to think about it as a whole.

Mail

Trash

By default deleting emails in squat.net webmail will move them to the Trash folder.

You can change this in the settings. If you don't, make sure to empty the Trash from time to time, or ask us (?tech@) to make a cronjob to delete your Trash folder.

Downloading your emails

a.k.a. backups

Squat.net offers imap-ssl and pop3-ssl. With pop3-ssl you can download your inbox emails, and choose to either leave a copy on the squat.net server or not. This is something recommended by Autistici.org but you should realise that by downloading emails to your own computer also means that you should think a bit more about the security of your own computer. Perhaps you want to use disk encryption, as well as encrypted backups.
