Mail provider current status? (feddit.org)

Hey everyone,

I have a free protonmail account for years now and will be losing access to my (main) university mail soon. My proton mail is filling up and I will need a reliable personal mail address going forward.

What is the current status with privacy oriented mail providers in the EU? I am willing to pay for my mail service but ideally not too much, protonmail is 4€/mo which is a bit much I think.

What is the general opinion now after some months on the protonmail ceo? Will the Swiss privacy laws cause issues soon? What about tuta and mailbox.org? I think I want to switch to my own domain soon so supporting custom domains is definitely something I look for. Also the ability to use imap and not have a separate app would be good.

Last time I checked half a year ago I found mailbox to be the best compromise but I decided it’s not worth the hassle yet to deal with my mail provider.

The services you linked are not all encrypted. Anybody can look at AI generated "top 10" lists, but user experience is what the goal of threads like these are.

One more second of searching. 🤷‍♂️

Look, I made a comment on your comment, just to be informative, and that's a purpose that adds something. You can say it's not all you want, but somebody might find it informative to know that those two aren't the only options.

It really does sound like you took it personally, I'm sorry, but it does.

I'm just saying to anyone reading your top level comment: "other options are available". I know this post is asking for recommendations, but recommendations should be in top level comments then, IMO.

You'd think someone would be happy to learn that there are more options. 🙄

Looking at your post history, you go around picking fights with people on the internet. Look inward.

Can you show me one example of me picking a single fight?
