 - **Web** - If you are self-hosting your mail server, you will probably want a web-based email client. [RainLoop](http://www.rainloop.net) and [RoundCube](https://roundcube.net) are both good open source options.

If your mail server is self-hosted, then consider [FairMail](https://email.faircode.eu/) which is a fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android. There is also [pretty Easy privacy p≡p](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=security.pEp), which has OpenPGP built in. [K-9 Mail](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9), which has been around almost as long as Android, has a solid reputation for privacy and security features.

 #### General Purpose Linux Distros
-If you do not want to use a specalist security-based distro, or you are new to Unix- then just switching to any well-maintained Linux distro, is going to be significantly more secure and private than Windows or Mac OS. Since it is open source, majour distros are constantly being audited by members of the community. Also Linux does not give users admin rights by default- this makes is much less likley that your system could become infected with malware.  There is no proprietary Microsoft or Apple software constantly monitoring everything you do, and building up a data profile on you. Some good distros to consider would be: **[Fedora](https://getfedora.org/)**, **[Debian](https://www.debian.org/)**, or **[Arch](https://www.archlinux.org/)**- all of which have a large community behind them. **[Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/)** (based of Arch), is also a good option, with a simple install process. Used by new comers, and expers alike. See [comparison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions).

 #### Improve the Security and Privacy of your current OS
-If you want to stick with your current OS, then see this [Windows 10 guide](https://heimdalsecurity.com/en/windows-10-security-guide/privacy), by Heimdal Security- it will guide you through the settings that you should update, to minimise the amount that Microsoft and other third-parties track you. For Apple users, this [Mac OS guide](https://spreadprivacy.com/mac-privacy-tips/), will walk you through the equivalent steps. For Linux, you are far more secure by default, but there are a few steps to take, as seen in this [Linux guide](https://spreadprivacy.com/linux-privacy-tips/).

+If you have chosen to stick with your current OS, there are a couple of things you can do to improve security, see: [Windows 10 security guide](https://heimdalsecurity.com/en/windows-10-security-guide/privacy), [Mac OS security guide](https://spreadprivacy.com/mac-privacy-tips/) or [Linux security guide](https://spreadprivacy.com/linux-privacy-tips/).
