Sorry if I’m the millionth to ask this, but what are some good trustworthy email providers? Even if paid. But if I’m paying it’d best if it’s privacy focused. Thanks!

    I recently started using Purelymail and love it so far.

    • Cheap pricing with optional pay-per-use
    • Support for standard protocols
    • Unlimited aliases if you bring your own domain
    • Website loads fast
    • No annoyances
    • No dark patterns
    • No corporate speak

      Yeah, somehow not even considering others at this point. I did before. Currently using Tuta.

      They both seem to be at the top of the privacy game, Proton for storage as well.

    I use Proton mail. I like the suite of products (mail, calendar and storage), and it’s been reliable. They also seem to be secure.

    You can use your own domain with them which is pretty standard but a good idea if you want long term email independence/remoce vendor lockin.

    I also like that Proton mail are going down a non-profit route and have open sourced their apps. I’m not suggesting they’re perfect, but these moves and the scale of their set up makes me feel happier to use them.

    I use Infomaniak Mail for my emails and kDrive from infomaniak too as an alternative to Google Drive.

    It’s a swiss company from Geneva (where I live) and it’s also used by the state of Geneva for hosting and other things.

    I really highly rate their products and prices. The email is free.

    I’ve been using fastmail which is pretty good. I also use mxroute sometimes. It’s a smaller operation that is cheaper.

    Proton! They’re based in Switzerland (I believe), which—among other Nordic countries—is known for its privacy laws. Proton Docs is absolute shit, but it’s their newest product, so I imagine it’ll get better eventually. Their email, storage, and VPN services are fantastic and have both free and paid options.

      Switzerland is not a Nordic country?

      And very small precision, their newest product is Wallet (for cryptos 😭)

      The rest is true. Go Proton

      I don’t believe Switzerland is a Nordic country, but +1 for Proton here. A lot of their newer products like Drive need a good amount of work, but Mail and VPN are working great for me.

    Migadu! Prices are fair in my opinion, and it’s bring your own email client (ie no webmail iirc) and bring your own domain… They also feel less “corporate-y” than Tuta or Proton. I have accounts with all three but I like migadu the most. If something happens, I don’t lose all my emails/need to change emails cause my email will still be JetpackJackson@<domain name>. Also, if you’re a student, they have a discount that you can email them about.

    Also, Disroot is cool too but I don’t use them that much since I have three other emails to deal with lol
