Email is practically a necessity for using any online service, however we do not recommend it for person-to-person conversations. Rather than using email to contact other people, consider using an instant messaging medium that supports forward secrecy.
[Recommended Instant Messengers](real-time-communication.md){ .md-button }
For everything else, we recommend a variety of email providers based on sustainable business models and built-in security and privacy features.
## Recommended Providers

In addition to (or instead of) an email provider recommended here, you may wish to consider a dedicated [email aliasing service](email-aliasing.md) to protect your privacy. Among other things, these services can help protect your real inbox from spam, prevent marketers from correlating your accounts, and encrypt all incoming messages with PGP.
