1. Crypo – Crypo has a huge collection of online tools like Hash generator, one pass generator, pass phrase generator etc. For encrypting email messages, you can use AER-256+ or other related tool.

2. Encrypt Easy – Encrypt and secure your messages online with Blowfish, which is one of the most secured encryption algorithm. Pretty straight-forward to use.

3. Lock My Stuff – In addition to encryption and decryption of messages, it allows you to store the encrypted text on its server and send the URL.

4. Crypto – A simple text encryption Java based applet with key, Caesar and Pseudo-CES encryption options.

5. Webnet77 Blowfish encryption – An alternative to Encrypt-easy tool with not so attractive user interface but equally efficient online service.

6. Dinofilias – A very simple and easy-to-use online text encryption service.

7. Infoencrypt – It’s a popular message encryption service with a nice UI and detailed explanation on the features and uses of text encryption.

8. EnetPlanet – Another nice encryption service with an option to save the encrypted text to a file or choose an encrypted file and decrypt it.

9. Flexcrypt – quite similar to Infoencrypt.

10. Lockbin – free online email encryption service which was quite popular when it was introduced but had its own share of problems later on. It is still useful to encrypt the message and mail it directly using the form available.

I wouldn't trust any of those. They aren't open source.

If you want encrypted email, you have to do it yourself using GPG. You can't trust third parties. For linux you could use the GPA (Gnu Privacy Assistant), for Windows gpg4win.org, for Mac OSX use gpgtools.org

If you just want to receive emails encrypted, and the senders have no idea about encryption (they are sending you voucher #'ers or something else that requires privacy so they aren't stolen) then you sign up for free to https://privacybox.de and configure it to forward encrypted messages to your regular email. Now you can accept Ukash vouchers, WMZ cards and other things on your website or just have an encrypted email box for people to send to you. Privacy box uses your GPG public key to encrypt everything, so no chance they can decrypt your messages. However it sends you no information about the sender, so tell people to include their email or username in the body of the message.

Beware any product that offers "Javascript browser encryption" it's not secure. You can never trust any browser with decrypting/encrypting they all leak information. Nobody on earth should ever use browser or java based encryption.

Here's my suggestions, everything is free:
Email: gpg4win, gpgtools (macOSX), GPA for linux/bsd.
SMS: TextSecure by Whisper Systems
Voice: Redphone by Whisper Systems. Encrypted Skype is useless.
Files: Truecrypt, or use PySkein http://pythonhosted.org/pyskein/
Full Disk PC Encryption: Truecrypt
Full Disk OSX Encryption: FileVault (comes with standard OSX I think)
Full Disk Linux Encryption: Use LUKS when installing Debian/whatever
Best operating system for maximum paranoia: OpenBSD, because you can now (starting with 5.3 in April) boot from completely encrypted softraid partitions, there is no bootloader attack anymore.
Secure Smartphone: Custom android O/S or download secdroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shadcat.secdroid&hl=en

iPhone encryption can easily be bypassed, so can BlackBerry now. If you don't believe me read Bruce Schneier's security blog schneier.com
