Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain
OnePhoenix@lemmy.world 4 months agoI don’t know if what I do is the right way around this but, as stated Proton will reject disposable verification emails and you cannot use another proton account to verify a new one.
My workaround for this is to verify proton with a Tutanota account which is also created with as little to no identifiable information as possible.
TLDR: Proton accepts Tuta emails for verification and Tuta emails can be created anonymously.

Which leads to the next logical question: Why not just use Tuta in the first place?
OnePhoenix@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Valid point. I do prefer the UI with Proton, I find it nicer to click through. Also, Tuta usually makes you wait 2-3 days before you can use it - not a big deal really, unless you’re trying to sign up for something new.

There was no wait period when I signed up for their service, but that was several years ago. Things always change.

How does Tuta compare to Proton on the root complaint of this post?

Other than not requiring a second email address linked to their service, being covered by German rather than Swiss law, actually fighting back against information requests, and not sucking up to the Chinese Communist Party, Tuta is probably fairly similar. Those differences, though, are persuasive.
