I have this email provider and use it to control my information requested travels within the internet. I watch contacts to see who might be spamming me back after I been there. I clicked on the login today and it's all gone.
Seems snowden was using this service as well
QuoteTwo American companies which provided encrypted email services – one to the NSA fugitive Edward Snowden – have abruptly shut down the service, apparently following US government pressure to let it read users' messages.
Lavabit, which is believed to have been used by Snowden and which claimed to have 350,000 customers, closed after apparently rejecting a US government court order to cooperate in surveillance on its customers by allowing some form of access to the encrypted messages on its servers.
The founder went on to state:
QuoteIts founder Ladar Levison wrote on the company's website: "I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit."

At least someone is awake and refuses to obey the demons taking away your right to privacy.
Guess that smooth move to shut down the lavabit email service was a bad move after all.
Feds want to arrest lavabit founder Ladar Levison for not obeying there demand, lets spy on emails. It just keeps getting more ridiculous everyday they drop the hammer.
Quotea source familiar with the matter told NBC News that James Trump, a senior litigation counsel in the U.S. attorney's office in Alexandria, Va., sent an email to Levison's lawyer last Thursday – the day Lavabit was shuttered -- stating that Levison may have "violated the court order," a statement that was interpreted as a possible threat to charge Levison with contempt of court.
