Lavabit abruptly shuts down

I've had a lavabit email as one of my main emails for years (close to when they first started) and this is a major inconvenience. I'm not sure I'll be able to change the email address associated with a lot of my various accounts now that they're offline.

Assuming you're using (and lavabit supported) custom domains, all you'd need to do is sign up for a dummy email address for now and go to your domain settings and reenter the MX records. But if it was an [email protected] or something like that, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I'm in the same boat. Anyone know of other services similar to Lavabit?

MD5 message authentication for the site. No PFS (ephemeral key exchange). Mixed content. I couldn't find a statement where the servers are hosted. Not exactly encouraging.
