what E-Mail provider do you use and why

For privacy, I believe Proton Mail proton.me/mail has been the standard.

proton’s honestly a great deal if you’re gonna use the VPN and Password managers. nice easy drop-in replacement for Gmail imo, not much point putting a ton of effort into it since email is inherently insecure

Honestly, gmail for bills and that kinds of stuff. iCloud for personal stuff. I do not really use email that much other than getting spam. I imagine that is true for most people. I do not understand why the privacy community is so obsessed with private email. Are you really using it for stuff that needs to be so private?

I just want to use a email provider who I can trust

Proton because it came with the vpn.

Email has no privacy, almost all my email communication is with companies I buy things from.

Moreover, I like that it removes power from google.

I’ve been using ProtonMail for a while now and it works very well, they also offer a drive, calendar, password manager, VPN; you can choose if you want all the features or just email.

I also tried Tutanota and they do a good job as well, they’re a smaller company and don’t have as many features as Proton but if all you need is reliable, private e-mail, it’s a good option.

Disroot. I also have accounts at Murena and Evilmail if I need to send emails without showing disroot address.

I use forearders to register at websites. DDG for shit, Anonaddy for more important things.

I believe Mailbox and Posteo are also good services. Proton, Tutanota and Skiff are not good.

ProtonMail because they’re at the very least non-intrusive and don’t have a track record of snooping through emails, google im looking at you mf

Mailfence. Good company, secure, reasonably priced, reliable, they’re always improving.

any competently run service that gets you away from the tech conglomerates will work

Any email with cock in the name will trigger filtering. It also has the side effect of making me unemployable

iCloud Mail. I have a Proton account, but the app takes several seconds to load and show me my messages on my phone and I hate the delay. Plus, as of iOS 17, Mail now autofills email verification codes and delete the email afterwards. Plus Mail is built into Siri and all that jazz, so it sometimes shows possible events that I can add to the calendar. So convenient.

Selfhosted mail-in-a-box solution. Easy to maintain and configure.

• It just works

Protonmail, but not really because of encryption. I just liked their Android client and webmail the most. I’ve had sensitive backups on Proton Drive for a long time, so that also played a role in the choice.

I hosted my own server for quite a few years, but the SMTP clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, K9 mail) all doing things slightly differently made me give up. Biggest push was that K9 mail didn’t really move deleted mail to trash. These were probably dovecot configuration issues, but I got tired of searching for solutions. Never had any deliverability issues.
