Sorry if I’m the millionth to ask this, but what are some good trustworthy email providers? Even if paid. But if I’m paying it’d best if it’s privacy focused. Thanks!
I like Posteo. Affordable (1€/month) and with focus on privacy and FOSS.
In addition to the above, they also use green energy, if you care about that sort of thing.
Proton! They’re based in Switzerland (I believe), which is known for its privacy laws. Proton Docs is absolute shit, but it’s their newest product, so I imagine it’ll get better eventually. Their email, storage, and VPN services are fantastic and have both free and paid options.
Edit: I’m not American, just incredibly dumb…
I don’t believe Switzerland is a Nordic country, but +1 for Proton here. A lot of their newer products like Drive need a good amount of work, but Mail and VPN are working great for me.
It is as far as Americans are concerned. It’s over where they sound like the swedish chef
as far as i am aware protonmail is pretty popular. I am hosting my own mail infrastructure but am considering to switch in the long run
I’m hearing about proton but they feel very scummy. Is proton(vpn and mail) actually privacy centered, doesn’t log and doesn’t sell data?
While I tought about self hosting an email, but doesn’t that come with lots of problems, like you can’t garantee five nines of uptime, or someone emails you cp, or websites not accepting custom domains? I also heard it’s easly hackable.
I’ve been using proton for a couple years now. I trust and like the services they provide. Plus they regularly perform third party audits and make the results public. https://protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit
I use Proton mail. I like the suite of products (mail, calendar and storage), and it’s been reliable. They also seem to be secure.
You can use your own domain with them which is pretty standard but a good idea if you want long term email independence/remoce vendor lockin.
I also like that Proton mail are going down a non-profit route and have open sourced their apps. I’m not suggesting they’re perfect, but these moves and the scale of their set up makes me feel happier to use them.
I use K-9 Mail. It is made by mozilla which is becoming less trustworthy every day but at the moment it is fine enoughMisunderstood post. K-9 is not an email provider, just an app
K9 isn’t an email provider? It’s an email app. A good one but still.
I misunderstood the post my bad
I use Infomaniak Mail for my emails and kDrive from infomaniak too as an alternative to Google Drive.
It’s a swiss company from Geneva (where I live) and it’s also used by the state of Geneva for hosting and other things.
I really highly rate their products and prices. The email is free.
I like disroot
I’ve been using fastmail which is pretty good. I also use mxroute sometimes. It’s a smaller operation that is cheaper.
