No one is going to use their time and firepower to crack your email if they really want to.
I'm not going to comment on the rest of what you said, lest I end up like this, but I'll just say it's a bunch of nonsense.

You better be sure that all your friends and contacts respect privacy and don't forward your emails, or all your efforts are a waste of time.
If you want it to be private, don't say it.
BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.
The OP hasn't really said what sort of privacy he wants. Does he want an encrypted service because of the content of his emails or does he just want a service that isn't mining his email/contacts/web history etc etc and selling the proceeds.
How about buying a domain name? barfbag.biz host it on your own PC, run a SMTP & IMAP server on there, and use that? Surely no one can intrude on that.
+1 on Lavabit. Best privacy policy I've ever seen for a free service. However, if you want the asymmetric encryption, you'll have to sign up for their premium accounts.
I recommend getting the personal account that gives you 1GB of storage. There is a single line of text ads displayed in the end of incoming messages, but I've never found those annoying in any way.
Sure, Lavabit cannot afford giving out "unlimited storage" like some providers do, so if you want a place to store large files, then sign up for Google, or Yahoo Mail, or even Dropbox...
@bailout:
Lavabit would be a nice solution in both of those cases. They don't harvest your data, and they provide server side encryption as well. (If you pay for it, that is)
A free Lavabit account + Thunderbird/Enigmail is a win/win situation.

Fair enough. I knew it was possible, but I don't know anything about it... Ignore my suggestion
I'm using Lavabit + Thunderbird, and I have no complains. I find it a really great service.
