It is possible. With secure email concerns on the rise, email providers are stepping up their security and still trying to keep their services free. Cutting edge security, however, may not be such a free option anymore.
The following are the top free sites we have found to help keep your information and communications safe and sound.

Their free security offers spam filter, spam reporting, secure sign-in, virus scanning, Phishing filter, image blocking, restricts automatic downloads and account recovery. They also offer suspicious activity checker. This added security feature is what made them number 1 for us because no one else had this. Gmail is now offering some end to end encryption.
Hotmal.com was rated number 2

Yahoo comes in at number 3.
They also offer all the same security features as Gmail, except the suspicious activity checker.
These top free sites have been around for a while and have been able to rid themselves of bugs and know what clients are looking for. There are other companies that did not make it into our top free sites that are offering almost the same security but are not free, or they require you to buy added storage.
Encrypting your emails is something you should consider, especially with all of your business communications. To make sure your email is effectively secured encrypting should be done with all your stored, archived, cached and actual emails, as well as your email provider. No matter what email service you choose, encryption is something you can do for added security.
There is also a secure email service called ProtonMail. It is offered free, but you may have to buy extra storage. It has been said that NSA cannot access this service. You can read more about this at protonmail.com.unnamed
Even if you use your email for just daily communications with friends and family you need to check out what security your email provider offers. Some are automatically enabled and some require action on your part. Make sure your email account is as secure as possible. If after checking out your current provider's security and you don’t feel it’s enough, look into other providers, like our top free sites. Don’t delay. Once your information has been stolen, you can’t get it back. Do your own due diligence and find the provider best for you.
