With Hushmail you can prevent the details of your e-mail communication being left behind on servers and/or computers of your communication partners. Above all this is useful if the addressees of your e-mails are using web accounts which are never deleted, like GoogleMail. At least the e-mail provider can trace your communication then. Act as follows:

• Set up an e-mail account (account A) in order to receive e-mails (do NOT use Hushmail now, as otherwise Hushmail would be able to observe your long-term communication, which is just what we want to prevent now).
• Access account A regularly via JonDo using your e-mail programm or your browser.
• Set up a new Hushmail account (account B) for every addressee who is sending you an e-mail to account A. You may now access this account via JonDo as well, as long as you need it.
• Answer the addressee only via account B. He is getting now a link. If he is clicking on it, he may write you back directly using the Hushmail web site (HTTPS-encrypted).
• Account B will be deleted automatically if you are not accessing it for three weeks. With it your communication is gone as well, unless your addressee has saved or printed the Hushmail web sites.

If your conversation partner is also using Hushmail, however, he keeps your messages. You should encrypt your messages using GPG additionally, (best directly in your web browser) in order to make the access of a third party more difficult.
