When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Wow. And I had just about now completed moving my addresses over, fucking hell
Mullvad then I guess?
One of my favourite things about using an email relay is how easy it was to change email addresses. Unfortunately I was changing to Proton. Fortunately I was using my own domain! Unfortunately I pre-paid 2 years.
Same! And there's not a good email alternative that's as popular
Posteo?
Doesn't support own domains unfortunately.
Not encrypted
that's... false?
There is default encryption and you can enable stricter and contact storage and force highest transport encryption in the settings.
It also supports PGP
Tuta is decent. I have been using them for a long time every since proton tried gas-lighting everyone about javascript based browser interface being secure for e2ee.
I just switched to purelymail and I am so far pretty happy with it. Plus its way cheaper.
Really, unencrypted email in 2025? Feels like a bad joke.
Depends. What do you think are using most of the people? I would wager something like gmail or outlook. So, even if you pay for an encrypted provider, chances are, 99% of your mail is unencrypted on some untrusted servers.
If I have to communicate securely I use signal.
Purelymail gives me the benefit of beeing super cheap and giving me many options on how to access my mails. Plus I can easily share my domain with my family.
PurelyMail is great, my only fears are two:
Yes that is true, but he lists every downtime with a analysis. And I am okay, with his track record. Plus, if he decides it is no longer worth his time or the bus gets to him, I just move my domain to another provider and dont suffer much. Plus he uses aws, so the infrastructure in itself should be pretty reliable.
