tuta mail or mailbox.org are the answer
Not proton the ceo is a right wing guy.
Afaik, Proton and Tuta are the only free ones with zero-knowledge encryption
Proton mail.
Not a recomendation… i just like to recall that it seems pointless to me to use a private/secure mail provider just to end up communicating with gmail users. There are other private/secure means of communication over the internet, just not so much through emails.
proton.me is not bad.
Tuta mail
Proton Mail is good, just don’t use the paid version of any Proton service. The paid version will delete your email address if you don’t keep up with payments.
You can get a lifetime subscription to Proton Pass sometimes, and that’s what I did. I suspect that may protect my account from deletion due to inactivity if I’m picked up by ICE or hit by a car and put in a coma (just examples, I’m not American). I’m not sure if it has that effect though.
I’ve been using fastmail.com for a long time and am satisfied, though it’s on the expensive side and I haven’t looked into every alternative.
If you want cheap email hosting for your own domain, mxroute.com has been around for a while and cranemail.com is new, but both are small companies run by people who know what they are doing (online acquaintances of mine if that matters).
deleted by creator
I’ve started using Disroot recently and I’m satisfied so far.
Find a local mail-hotel, buy your own domain, and set it up…
I can’t attest to privacy, but I have used Zoho for years with my domains.
I use Disroot. Idk if sign-ups are always open though.
Stop posting protonmail you bozos, what kind of person only needs a single email tied to a phone number? Preposterous. I won’t even bother bringing up them putting some idiot climate activists in jail since I know “privacy” to redditors means posting about GDPR and turning your brain off
Tuta is allegedly okay (we’re not international drug traffickers so we can pretend other (European) people’s computers are trustworthy bc we don’t need them to be usually) but it doesn’t have imap, so you just use it as the recovery email and then use some other generic free disposable privacy email w imap
But proton doesn’t need a phone number? You can just do a captcha. I would never use an email that asks for a phone number. Or even a phone.
They began demanding my phone number after I signed up without it. Not sure why. Was years ago tho
That’s the same trick discord pulls btw it’s shady
I wonder if it’s by region. Are you outside EU?
