  I might take a break from these encrypted ones, I’m thinking about trying to find a plain old IMAP/POP provider.

    I don’t think the encryption for Skiff, Tuta and Proton did add any real and important value for most users. Posteo and mailbox.org with IMAP seems fine to me.

      I’m gonna start comparing all my options today or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for you help, I hadn’t seen that thread before! I also hadn’t seen Posteo yet, but it looks pretty good.

    I mean, Proton Mail has been around ages and if you pay them … really anything at all you get access to their bridge application. Which… That runs a local plain old IMAP server you can use as if it was any old IMAP email provider.

      Honestly, I just need something that works and is standardized. Also, I just want email — I thought Proton had an email only plan, but they must’ve removed it or something. I have my own VPN, and don’t torrent or do other things that I need to hide from my ISP (who are pretty lazy anyway).

      Thanks for the information though! Cool that they have a way that you can still use the apps you want (that was my biggest problem with Skiff tbh).

        They do have an email only plan. It’s called mail plus account.proton.me/mail/signup?mode=sps&ref=ma…

        Hey, not to push Proton too hard but they wrote a blog post about the Skiff shutdown and I thought you might want to see it

        No worries if not.

  This link opens to a thread about email providers. Is this what you meant to post?

  • lemmyreader@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yes, it has suggestions for you to move away from Skiff.

      Ah ok, I’ll take another look then. Thanks!
