FYI you can’t use thunderbird with the proton free tier, only with premium. Switched recently and that was quite a surprise to me.
I feel like I’m the only person here who doesn’t want encryption in email, I just want something that works with any client.
There are a lot of privacy-focused alternatives, but not all of them are. Fastmail and Infomatrix are two excellent options that are more focused on convenience
I’m a bit confused why there’s a profit share indicator on the legend when seemingly none profit share. Otherwise, this is very cool!
Sorry, that is a bit confusing. The other guides have companies with that indicator. Should have removed it here though.
Been using fastmail for over 10 years and it’s fantastic. Two thing you should be aware though: 1st Australia is part of the five eyes, 2nd they have their servers (last I checked) in new york.
I considered switching from Proton to Fastmail, because Proton seems to run slow in Australia. Immediately stopped considering once I realized they delete your account if you don’t pay for 6 months (and by extension, you’ll lose all your connected accounts).
So if you’re homeless, arrested, deported, or in a coma and come out of it you’ll end up losing your entire digital life.
don’t trust proton too much. ceo is a fascist.
I’m neurodiverse and I can’t see this properly due to colours and layout. Can anyone give me a hand?
I’ve used mailfence’s paid entry tier for several years now. Been happy with them.
They are on the “other excellent options” list, but wanted to give them a highlight.
There are so many good choices that it is hard to showcase them all - Mailfence often gets recommended
Switzerland is still not part of the EU. Proton, Informaniak and Kolab should have the Swiss flag and not EU. It’s not the same laws and they are not forced to apply GDPR to their policies.
A free or very low cost service for hosting my catchall domain address
I just recently switched from gmail to Mailfence with a custom domain, and I’m pretty happy thus far. I looked into it for a while trying to find the best option, and Mailfence turned out the best for me. Tuta was too locked down for me and Mailbox just rubbed me the wrong way. Mailbox has had a known major security issue with custom domains for literally 7 years now and still has yet to addressed it, their webmail is extremely slow and buggy (would switch to German randomly), they don’t encrypt messages at rest (which to be fair isn’t too important, but a lot of other services still do it), and I’ve seen multiple reports of their support being sub-par. I feel like they’re probably still fine, but I just feel more confident in Mailfence.
Has anyone heard about disroot.org? Is it a trustable service? Am considering switching there
I wish there was a tool that allowed you to see all the shit you have signed up under your google account so it would make it easier to move
Aren’t you able to see this in your Google account settings? I could have sworn I’ve seen a list of all the sites where I used “Sign in with Google”.
Yeah that’s only if you sign in with google, and don’t just regularly sign up xD
Can’t beat the pricing of https://purelymail.com/. I’ve been using them for a couple years now.
Ive never paid for a single email client in my life, so yes you can beat any pricing except for free.
This doesn’t say anything about DMARC and DKIM. Ni should probably go figure that out.
If you want to de-google you should also look into murena.io as it also includes cloud storage and document editing.
