These are okay for personal affairs of little importance but will not do for serious matters, say, for tax avoidance, kiddie porn, spying, stealing, fraud, political dissent, or any criminal or suspected-criminal activity. All these services will comply with lawful (and covert) demand for access to email content and meta-data. It is common business, government, institutional and personal practice to exaggerate threat and security to induce dependence on authority. Common practice as well to betray those induced to trust authoritative security. This is not cynicism merely observation of how authoritatives behave to protect their investment and advance their offerings. For example, no nation will permit use of encryption which it cannot break but all will promote products that appear to be trustworthy and strictly ban those which are not accessible to national authority by hook or crook. This is simple protection policy, nothing bizarre or unexpected about it. Trustworthy encryption products are exactly what cryptanalysts want to be adopted and work hard to get them widely used. This is applicable to anonymizing products and initiatives as well. Sec experts advise to not bother seeking protection national authorities, that wil not happen. But that the public will be fed products and services to promise such protection, there is a very long history of doing that. The basis of fundamentalism forever, to be assured there is safety by adopting faith in authority -- meaning authoritative advertising, propaganda, preaching, philosophizing. whispering "we can get it for you on the black market." that will appear in public.
