. Not to worry! Just contact them through some other means and tell them your public key. They'll be able to insert the key into their mail agent, and it'll automatically recover your message from the spam folder into their inbox.
That defeats the whole point of that communication channel. Email addresses that problem by being open, I can just email someone and they'll receive it.
I steer clear of Google apps for that exact reason. As it is nobody snoops on my exchange email, calendar or contacts. I've never understood the obsession with people giving all their information over to Google.
because your suggestion contains dictionary words whereas the chances of I password like "MhVFnGScXZTCYJ6r#YBC5Y2Bn" ever being guessed is extremely remote.
Ironically all the scaremongering comes from groups like Anonymous, who claim to oppose draconian law. Now a whole draft of such laws are going to be introduced to combat a threat that was never really there (Anonymous).
The most powerful organisation on Earth, has failed to make any significant difference.
The most powerful organisations in all of human history are the copyright groups. Never in history has anyone had such a vast global reach as do the copyright owners. Its to the point where you don't have to commit any crime in order to be locked up. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O'Dwyer
Anonymous has a long way to go. Becoming something more than petty thugs would be a good start.
I've only used video calling twice in the past 10 years. I believe the last video call I made (on the phone, not with skype or equivalent) was in 2004.
Also a lot of people, such as myself don't check Facebook very regularly. I actually find facebook to be an inconvenient form of communication most of the time. I think of it more as a self maintaining address book.
It's not a security hole. It's how the internet functions.
Skype isn't intended to be anonymous, if you want total anonymoity you need to use a VPN. That's true for everything you do online don't assume its anonymous just because the client doesn't show that information.

None of that will stop a spammer from using your domain as their sender domain, and get you blacklisted all over the place.
Do you know what Sender Policy Framework is?
Do you know how RBLs work?
Skype for instance may be the email replacement.
How?
Can I use it to message people on other networks? Can I build my own server?
Personally I have never seen any viable alternative to email proposed.
It isn't going away soon.
Email will never go away because there is no alternative.
c) CTOs get bribed. Those bribes determine what technology they buy. The FSF doesn't have much money to waste on bribes, but many corporations do.
Oh yes, the conspiracy theory. Last refuge of the hippie.
I get to deal with open source hippies every week.
They are so proud when they manage to do something in open source that Microsoft solutions already do by default.
Because Open Source solutions just don't cut it. Intel and Microsoft are successful by providing the best quality products.
I suspect he would likely have used MegaUpload servers to hold his personal off-site backups. Why pay someone else when you have the resources?
Because Kim Dotcom is an innocent angel, right?
Yes, what crime has he ever been convicted of?

Yet, he still received a sentence.
Because batteries are so environmentally friendly?

The advantage of using SMS over Facebook is that people can only send you Text. As opposed to all the shit that now floods facebook timelines.

Well how intelligent is the person who lost the unencrypted laptop?
Exactly, even kids today who have never seen a floppy disk know what the icon represents.
A currency whose only recourse for victims of theft is to shut up and stop using it. Where do I sign up?
Just like cash.
I put my birth year as 1200. I'm actually surprised it was accepted.
Because XMPP uses a client-server topology, whereas Skype is a Peer to Peer network and therefore clients make direct connections to one another.
