The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!

      Thanks, will look to see how best to add these. Might not be all though as I don’t want to overwhelm people with too many options.

    I think I say that for each iteration of that great graphics but Swiss laws ARE NOT the same as european ones!

    You really should label the services based in Switzerland differently than EU (Infomaniak, Proton and Kolab) especially that the laws are evolving and Switzerland might become a worse place than Germany for such services (hopefully not, let’s cross our fingers)

    Might I suggest you include steps for how to set up automatic forwarding in the incumbent providers? I can’t be the only one intimidated by the prospect of moving all my shit to a new account.

    Tbh. this guide was not very helpful. Tuta and proton in the free tire for example do not offer SMTP, if I am not mistaken; so I cannot use it with thunderbird. I am missing information here such as storage size and max mail size.

      The website might be more helpful to you, but it still doesn’t go into that level of granularity. This is meant more for those who aren’t too technical and want help getting started on this journey.

    What the three groupings on the right hand side for?

    I guess the top one is free and the bottom offers an eco system, but thst about the middle group?
