What is a good alternative to proton mail these days?
OOTL.
Whats the issue with Protonmail ?
The ceo promoted Trump. They offer a crypto wallet. Nothing wrong with their products per say, mostly politics. L
Oh, ok.
Tuta
any already mentioned here + using your own domain name
Sorry I’m not really adding to the question but we need alternatives for a lot of apps… Fb, Instagram, WhatsApp,etc it’s impossible for me to ditch them all without loosing contact with friends/family… any other threads going on about this? Maybe have a general thread and subsequent migration movements, we really need to act on this social life monopoly we’ve became hostages to…
What’s the problem with WhatsApp? Aren’t the chats encrypted?
Whatsapp is owned by meta
Not a shitty product, but the company is shit unfortunately
Sadly the best product mail-wise is currently MS Exchange online. Privacy wise Posteo is probably the best.
I’ve been using PurelyMail for over a year now and it’s been solid. Probably aimed more at tech-minded folk though.
I’ll recommend Tuta mail.

I guess I’m out of the loop. What’s wrong with Proton?
Always has been a sketchy company - any company who claims Swiss privacy laws are good (and in reality operates out of the US) is lying to you.
Its CEO is kissing Trump’s ass.
really? that sucks. really? i am genuinely so disappointed, jeez
That’s one take: that Andrew Yang is a Trump supporter. However, another take is that he made a massive mistake by making it seem as if he supported Trump, even though he was talking about something specific and narrow.

If he doesn’t, then he could come out and state that and address all of the republican problems.
mailbox.org seems pretty good. No apps though. And setting up syncing for calendar and contacts takes a bit of work. but once it’s working, it’s good. I’m using thunderbird mobile for mail and DAVx5 to sync contacts and calendar.
Too fucking funny. This is because of the various bad news, right? So fucking funny. Everyone and their dog bragging about proton mail the last few years and you’re a moron if you haven’t switched blah blah blah.
I mean, it is still objectively way better than most / all mainstream solutions. The issues is with the CEO’s political stance, nothing about the technical implementation details or anything the company did wrong with managing your data.
I’m still interested in supporting a different company because of it, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Proton over Gmail any day.
“Corporations are never your friend.”
But this one is different! It’s non-profit!
Kolabnow is great.
StartMail is owned by an advertising company, it’s not a better choice whatsoever.
Until they don’t.
I’ve been a Runbox customer for many years. Never had a problem. Runbox is operated from privacy-respecting Norway.
