Hi everyone! Since I was absolutely fucked by Skiff (thank fuck I didn’t pay for it) I’m looking for a new email provider :) I’m not sure I like how proton is transforming into a full on suit, I only need email. Any other recommendations or is proton my only choice really?
I know you are not interested in proton but they are the absolute best and you possibly cannot get anything better than their services on the privacy and security end (which they are focused on).
Proton = No SMTP/IMAP support.
How would they be privacy-centric if they supported SMTP and IMAP?
Both support encryption and Lavabit probably had much higher standards than Proton when it comes to privacy and still supported those open protocols. What Proton is doing is pushing for vendor lock-in at any possible point so you’re stuck with what they deem acceptable because it’s easier for them to build a service this way and makes more sense from a business / customer retention perspective.

So you assume that Proton won’t snitch on you whenever the NSA comes around asking for data?.. And I’m sure Lavabit didn’t snitch on Snowden.

+1 for proton!
I’ve been using it for years, they’ve never let me down!
