This tutorial explains how to create free (no cost) email account at BitMessage E-mail and setup it in mail client with IMAP mode on Ubuntu. The mail client used here is Thunderbird, which is only an example as you can apply same steps to Icedove and other mail clients. You will get @bitmessage.ch mail address, which can send/receive emails to regular emails such as @gmail.com and @yahoo.com, and with ability to delete your account permanently.

We are all more aware today about our online privacy since the global surveillance 2013 case. Because of this awareness, we may want alternative to Gmail service owned by Google, and some of us will have difficulties to find such gratis (no cost) service with IMAP/POP feature, with privacy protection. BitMessage E-mail Gateway is an email provider hosted in Switzerland recommended by PrivacyTools.io, PRISM Break, and PRXBX (checked 4 July 2018). It's free (no cost) and it supports IMAP/POP client, a very rare feature of privacy-oriented gratis service.
