If you use a secure email service that offers end-to-end encryption, you have taken a huge step towards making your email truly secure and private. Congratulations! Your messages are the fruit that hang really high and are expensive to get.

To make life difficult for even the most dedicated hackers, you can take a few precautions more:

1. Beware of keylogging software. Key-loggers capture what you type right from your keyboard – before any secure email encryption software can protect it.
2. Do not leave your mobile devices and computers unguarded. Also, make sure your devices are themselves protected with strong passwords or biometrics and have no guest accounts or similarly unprotected access allowed. 
3. Be vigilant of social engineering. Phishing attempts often come by email, instant messages, VoIP or social networking messages and can be very cleverly designed (possibly tailored specifically to you) to trick you into handing out personal details, information or even passwords. 
4. Do not write down or share any passwords. Never make a note of the password that lets you decrypt secure emails you receive.
   ​Note: Also guard passwords to other email accounts or social networking accounts with particular care. 
5. Assume that, given enough resources, interest or time, it will be possible to hack into your every email account (even encrypted email).In fact, it may be even "easier" to force, trick or blackmail you so you reveal information directly or grant access to secure email accounts.
