      I do agree it’s not as pretty as Proton but the encryption once it reaches your account is much better and I feel like they are more upfront about what they are and aren’t. Really my main grype with them is there lack of GPG support.

    They also lock your (free) account if you don’t use it for six months. You have to start paying if you ever want that email address again (emails are lost AFAIK).

    Happened to me after a serious illness. I don’t mind paying, but that soured it so badly for me.

      Same, can’t trust them if they can’t provide sustainability, 6 months might sound too long until you are hit by some illnesses which spiral into financial and mental burdens and months start passing like days.

  Mailbox,formerly mailbox.org

  Tuta,which is often recommended, is sadly another vendor lock in while mailbox is using industrial standards.

  I still use protonmail. Tuta would be a close second

    great value

    So help me god if you recommended a paid email service as a replacement for a free one…

      Were we talking about free ones? Sorry didn’t know that, and anyway Migadu is cheap as heck. (My use cases are always to use a custom domain)

    +1

    I’ve used them for a few years now using my domain. It’s no nonsense and well structured. Eventually, I’ll just self-host, but this is a good option if you don’t have a reliable means to host or just want to get your feet wet before fully self-hosting. The $20/yr plan has been perfectly adequate for my needs.
