    my hushmail account just got turned off

    1st of all, I know what happened with hushmail cooperating with the LE and all. I kept it just to go back and check price list or addys or whatever, but quit using it. after all, they had all that stored anyway. well today I went to go check a price sheet and it had been shut down for illegal use. it doesn't have any info of places that I sent money to, but it did have my addy on there. for anyone else that this happened to what do you do? expect a raid or what? any info will help. why are they just getting to and closing my email so many months later?

    yeah, I know that. but that is if you don't check it for a week or so. I checked it just this weekend. it said that it was shut down for illegal activity.

    Someone I know got their's shut down as well...

    This is much more common than I had originally thought. He isn't really going to participate in transactions like this anymore..some time off was needed.

    Sucks there isn't a way to communicate privately anymore

    that sucks, but i definately wouldnt wrry about a raid or anything like that. at the very most they might flag your address, but i doubt even that. besides having a pricelist isnt illegal as far as i know anyways. you coulda made that shit up off the top of your head for all they know.

    I still continued using hushmail even after ORD. But have been feeling uneasy about it so finally changed to another service. I still check it now and then just to find out if getting any warnings to be aware of,lol.

    What's the next best option?

    Is anyone still conducting business without problems through Hushmail? I entered my account without any trouble and all my "iffy" mails are still in there. Figgured that that was safer than my hard drive.
