Hi guys!

I’m looking for a Proton alternative. So far I’ve seen these two recommended. I was wondering what are the pros/cons of each? Seems Tutanota offers more bang for the buck in mailbox size etc, but I’m not sure. I’d also like to have a better integration with Android, because Proton’s email/calendar apps suck big time.

Thanks!

    Tutanota for max security (no imap/pop3 support). Other services for using IMAP/POP3. But really, you shouldn’t be using email anyway if your goal is max security and privacy, simplex.chat is better for that.

      Sigh…right. But people DO need email. For banks. For taxes. For governments, healthcare, and lots of other crap.

      So yeah, I’m skipping the whole “encrypted mailbox no-knowledge”, since it’s both cumbersome and useless unless anyone around you ALSO uses it (otherwise, those super private emails can be way more easily intercepted during transit than in your inbox anyway).

      I just want some attempt at privacy from some EU nation while keeping some decent interoperability.

          Hmmmmm I’d say Librem is US-based. Not to mention their whole mess with delivering pre-orders (and normal orders) of their Librem phone. Last time I checked they still didn’t fulfill most of their orders right? …Nah I think this shouldn’t be where to trust my email.

          they look interesting but I can’t find out anything about where they have their servers located.
