      Protonmail, servers in Switzerland. Encrypted so that even proton doesn’t have the key. The only downer is if you forget your login info and need to do a full account reset you also lose your encryption key as a new one is generated and old emails are unretrievable.

      Good in case of attempted account take over

        Only downside is their CEO supports Trump, and tweeted his support for Trump from Proton’s official company Twitter account. When this whole thing happened, Proton never took those tweets down. Don’t know if they’re still up or not but I don’t care.

        The point is, use Proton if and only if you’re okay with knowing that the company’s official stance is in support of fascism.

        Alternatively, I’d recommend Mailbox.org or Tuta.

            I was a paid customer of Proton’s for many years. After that whole debacle, I let my subscription expire, and then deleted my account. I sure as hell wasn’t going to use their service even if it was free. Made sure to leave very specific feedback to them why I was deleting my account.

            Clicking that delete account button felt so good.

          I did see that and I investigated Tuta. I had already paid for the year unfortunately. But I also wonder if he knows how Trump operates and would try to make foreign hosted encrypted data illegal, and so he was just pandering to trumps narcissism by congratulating him in his pick.

    I do recall users talking about how they need to get tankies deported around the time the ICE budget passed, so this isn’t even unreal.
