What is the safest email provider to use for everyday use?
I have been switching between different providers for a few weeks but i
still can't decide which one to stick with.

What is the safest media player to use?

I have been switching between different media players for a few weeks but i
still can't decide which one to stick with.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Safest email provider ?, Security is more of an end user type thing.
You'd have to give a more specific area of concern than just which
is the most secure.

For a "Portable", non ISP account I'd recommend a Google Mail
or Hotmail ( Windows Live ) account since you can continue to use
either if you change ISPs in the future.

Media players all have some risks, but I wouldn't choose one just
based on it's security.

Yes, GMail is good for portable mail.

Or if you want, you could always take on the challenge (and have a spare
computer) of setting up your own mail server (linux works well for this,
although Win 2003 can do it too) where you cna use imap with your own
web/php/etc interface like squirl mail or many others. But that's way
beyond any normal user maybe able to do.

VLC (www.videolan.org) works really well.

I doubt someone who is asking a question like this has any interest in
setting up an e-mail server on Linux Maybe in their spare time, they
could rebuild an engine in an old Porsche!

Or rebuild the old jet engine to the Challenger/Columbia space shuttle?
