      I want to say… Some sort of self hoster with a cheap domain going for the “security through obscurity” approach…

      https://crt.sh/?q=91268476.xyz

      I’ll let you explore, but definitely a self hoster!

          Free for a year or so, depending on where you register

          The 1.111B class (basically the numbered domains) cost ~1 dollar/yr.

    After trying and failing to get used to Proton’s UX, Fastmail has been great.

    I’ve been a Runbox customer for many years. Never had a problem. Runbox is operated from privacy-respecting Norway.

      No implying that asking multiple times is bad.

      We should all be asking about and offering alternatives, a lot. Over and over.

    Tuta, StartMail, Mailbox all have good reputations for privacy respecting services.

      Can vouch for mailbox.org.

      I’ve been using their 1€ per month tier for a year now, everything has worked well.

    Sorry I’m not really adding to the question but we need alternatives for a lot of apps… Fb, Instagram, WhatsApp,etc it’s impossible for me to ditch them all without loosing contact with friends/family… any other threads going on about this? Maybe have a general thread and subsequent migration movements, we really need to act on this social life monopoly we’ve became hostages to…

    Too fucking funny. This is because of the various bad news, right? So fucking funny. Everyone and their dog bragging about proton mail the last few years and you’re a moron if you haven’t switched blah blah blah.

      I mean, it is still objectively way better than most / all mainstream solutions. The issues is with the CEO’s political stance, nothing about the technical implementation details or anything the company did wrong with managing your data.

      I’m still interested in supporting a different company because of it, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Proton over Gmail any day.

    I’ve been using PurelyMail for over a year now and it’s been solid. Probably aimed more at tech-minded folk though.

    mailbox.org seems pretty good. No apps though. And setting up syncing for calendar and contacts takes a bit of work. but once it’s working, it’s good. I’m using thunderbird mobile for mail and DAVx5 to sync contacts and calendar.
