Having consistent uptime and not locking broken IMAP behind a paywall would beat Tuta.
I have a proton subscription (although I am in the process of switching to fastmail since that better suits my needs) but I think “privacy respecting email” is a fool’s errand and increasingly a red flag. In a lot of ways, it is no different than a VPN: They can say whatever the hell they want. If you are in a situation where you are trusting them then you have already made a mistake.
Proton et al ARE awesome because you can get a mostly functional email for free without any other identification (mostly functional in that a lot of services put the proton domains on a spam list… because anyone can get a burner). But if you are sending ANYTHING sensitive, you want to be encrypting that. And you want to do that in a way that is not asking the company to do it for you.
So as long as thundermail doesn’t require a phone number or some other form of personal ID to make an account: f’ing A. After that it is just a question of their support for IMAP et al (highly probable considering… Thunderbird) and what it costs to use your own domains.

I swear to fuck, you guys take a single thing and just run the absolute shit out of it.
Proton is run by the Proton Foundation. Andy Yen is only one of FIVE members of that board (including the literal father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee). Andy fucked up by using the official Proton account to post a personal opinion about ONE person that was NOT trump. He over explained it later on, which the rest of the board likely told him to shut the fuck up.
THAT’S ALL THAT HAPPENED.

The guy that advocated for DRM in HTML? We should have stopped listening to him a long time ago, he’s not a god.

They may not, but they are physically in the USA and their servers are physically in the USA… So… We’ll see I guess.

supporting internet freedom involves that, unfortunately. Tor has a good stance, w/e happens, happens, we’re here to make it anonymous.
