If only I could use IMAP I’d be one of them. But I went with Posteo for that very reason.
They also currently have a 62% deal of their highest tier for the next 10 days. Rather good deal!
Important one omitted is Posteo.net (Posteo.de). Encrypted and secure. Paid but inexpensive.
Count me in as one! Though I am from US lol
Encrypted email access is more important under fascist dictatorships. Make sure you use a custom domain so you can redirect mail elsewhere if need be. If the US continues down the path to fascism and war, they’ll likely block access to encrypted foreign services first.
They’re much better than Proton. Like Blaze they do not want to get political.
they do not want to get political
oh but they do, they advocate for open source and privacy rights.
and climate rights (they even have an entire section about it on their homepage)
Not wanting to get political is a 🚩
Most western countries have a conservative party pushing against all things FOSS, anti-monopoly, privacy protection, data control, beneficial regulations, etc.
Proton caught flak because one of their board members vocally supported “the bad guys” who stand against everything proton claimed to defend and support.
Hey! I’m one of those!
Me too, it’s been great so far. Got my custom domains all set up easy.
Hot damn! 3 euro/mo (1 yr prepaid) with up to 10 custom domains?!?
I do believe I’ll be signing up later on tonight or tomorrow morning.
I’m an american, and fuck american tech companies right now.
Good job! I’m wondering what the statistics are from StartMail their sale, they also having a discount right now. Good to see that incredible increase of 148%!

Welp, I thought 500 gigabyte storage meant file storage, it’s only for email storage 🙃
Can always just email yourself stuff I guess?
25MB file limit, goddamnit.
That’s over 20,000 emails with maximum file size.
I heard that Suisse is not safe for privacy anymore, is that the truth?
No
Are there any good guides for switching from gmail to Tuta/Proton/Start/etc?
I am also interested, but my ancient gmail account annoyingly still gets lots of important stuff and I would be interested how easy or complicated is to redirect emails or exporting contacts for example.
edit: thanks for the suggestion! I will definetly switch now. Just need to decide between Proton and Tuta :D
Instead of redirecting, just slowly switch over. Change account emails of services as they arrive to your inbox one at a time. Do some deep dives into email history from time to time to see if there is anything super rare that you’d truly miss. Don’t close the account for at least a year (but really, just don’t ever close the account).
set up filters in gmail with redirection to your tuta account; this way you can slowly forward important things while keeping less important stuff in gmail and clean up your inbox.
then just add new filters as needed.
This. Actually Proton tells you to do this if you want to get extra storage space on free account.
