Looking to leave GMAIL and am currently testing Proton for a $1 a month. So far it’s pretty good and the issue I have is not with Proton, but with who I’m sending messages to. If I send an email to a gmail account my information is still sitting on a Google server. So is Proton worth it? Is something like Fastmail just as good over all due to how email works? With Fastmail I can get email for my whole family for $14 a month. I won’t have the VPN, ProtonPASS and other Proton apps, but are they worth the $12 a month for one person?
Do you know what personal info gets landed on their server when you send an Email to a Gmail account? Presumably Email address and name, but is there much more, hidden stuff?
I never actually thought about it from this angle. Moreso about how much they have access to by having a Google account, but not the exposure if yiu Email someone on their servers.
