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

mailbox.org is quite good. I prefer them over protonmail because I want to use my own client. If you don’t care about using a web UI, use protonmail, otherwise use mailbox.org. you can also take a look at tutanota

I use protonmail, simplelogin (for email aliases) and tutanota.

I use Fastmail - not too expensive, really good webmail client, has working shared calendar that isn’t OWA, and isn’t advertising scraping my e-mail. I would have liked a more private service, but back when I moved from self hosted to a service, that was about the best I could get that also had calendaring.

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.

Proton (free) for family, friends, and business types uses, although I’d rather have an integrated calendar (instead of it being a separate app).

Tutanota (free) for bills, purchases, etc., basically everything else, because I’m never going to say “my email is xxxxx@TUTAmail.com” to anyone I know, especially business acquaintances. So far, I like Tutanota more than Proton, especially the integrated calendar, but that name… Sounds like something my mother or grandparents were scammed into using.

On desktop, I’m currently using Thunderbird (TB) for a couple of older gmail accounts (that I’m in the process of transitioning away from), although I hate the recent update to TB. Haven’t tried the Tutanota desktop app yet, but web version of email & calendar work adequately. Maybe I’ll transition from TB now, after their recent changes.

Considered mailbox.org, but I’m not going to pay for it (no free version) when they don’t have a cell app. Skiff may be worth looking at. Can’t recall why I didn’t try them.

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

fuck proton mail, bring your own encryption

I’m oldschool.

I’ve had my own domains and mail servers for the past 3 decades and will maintain them for as long as I live.

And these days, all but the storage runs of Pi3, so it’s barely using any power either.

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

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 tried Proton, even paid for a year. But hot damn the Android app is garbage. So I’ve moved to Fastmail and I like it a lot. The app is snappy and I love that it has calendar, contacts, mail, notes, and files storage all in the same app. I used a custom domain with Proton so wasn’t hard to switch to a different provider. Just wish I would’ve known how bad the mobile app was before I plunked down the money.

If I remember correctly cock.li is also hosting some really bad Nazi domains and has apparently no problem with that…

I never knew about cock.li bit it looks really nice. I’m going to try and sign up when they open to the public in November. They have a lot of nice domains too.

I could invite you.

Tutanota. I used to use Proton, but they don’t encrypt folder names, which is a deal breaker. Tutanota does, and they’re also a privacy respecting, reputable, decent service.
