I mean one that's actually Canadian. I've found two that are hosted in the US (via everywhere.net) and there's Hushmail (which is hosted in BC but kind of funky), everyone else seems to charge money... Canoe.ca apparently used to do email but stopped. |

your ISP's email services _might_ be local. Is there a particular reason for wanting the hosts to be within Canada in specific? |

There are plenty of good reasons for not wanting email hosted in the US. Privacy law for one, contract requirements for another. Alas if you truly want to ensure that your email is only hosted in Canada you're almost certainly going to have to pay a Canadian provider or setup a mail server yourself on a server you purchase/rent in Canada. There simply isn't the demand to make it worth while otherwise. |
