I’ve got a couple of e-mail addresses with the main providers, but I’m looking to switch to an ad-free and more secure provider.

I’ve been looking at ProtonMail, but what do you guys use or recommend?

    I could’ve sworn Proton used e2e encryption (with other proton users I suppose) and that was part of why it didn’t integrate well with third party tools. But yes, even if it is, the majority of people/services that you email aren’t e2e encrypted so it’s very important to remember.

      Yup! That’s their implementation of E2E I mention above, should have been more specific there.

      External users with PGP, or internal users of Proton mail stay encrypted. The other 99.99% of emails come in unencrypted until they are saved to the inbox.
