I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I’m not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

      +1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.

        No SMTP or IMAP as it’s an E2EE service and unlike Proton they don’t (yet anyway) have a “bridge” service. You get to use your own domain, a handful of aliases, and a generous amount of storage all on the free plan with higher limits on the paid plans.

        Anyone looking for standard mail protocol support and gobs of storage for free/cheap and who are cool with a very non-sexy 90s web UI, would do well to check out the European provider mail.ee . They’ve been reliable for me over the past year or so though I’m not exactly a high-volume customer.

    I switched to disroot and am so far super happy with it. especially because it comes with a lot of nice features like file transfer and cloud storage. its also free.

      I’m considering moving to disroot as well.

      its also free.

      That it is, but please consider donating as it’s also non-profit :)

        Can I ask how you deal with it? Free tutanota lacks even the most basic features i.e. offline mode/search. I switched to proton after a month, it was infuriating

          I just use it for ordering stuff and for registering to newsletters. It’s fine, but yeah sometimes you want to find older emails and it’s a pain in the ass to do that, because of the search function.

    I recommend Proton Mail if you just want a simple, no fuss email service. It’s free with some paid options, but the paid options are super unecessary and pretty much useless if you just use email to sign up and send support emails. Proton Mail also blocks trackers and cleans links in your emails.

    I’m a proton unlimited subscriber and it comes with proton vpn and simplelogin premium on top of the 500GB email inbox. I’m very satisfied with it. Signing up for lots of things with email aliases from simplelogin is very convenient and useful for cleaning your inbox of spam

      Proton just keeps getting better, it seems like they’re trying to create a suite to compete with Microsoft.

      Email, cloud storage, VPN, calendar and recently password manager.

      I do wish their VPN client for Linux was a priority sooner (they’re working on it now). Also, I can’t get email notifications on my degoogled phone because it uses Firebase for push notifications.

      Other than that, I love Proton. I pay for Proton Unlimited, I’m happy to support their growth for a great product range.

    I’ve been using Fastmail for almost a decade now, and extremely satisfied by the service, privacy, features and price.

    If you’re interested in signing up for it, I have a referral link (the above one isn’t it, I’m not that shady) you can use for a 10% discount on your first year.

    Good luck with the search.

    I really enjoy https://mailbox.org, their custom software can be… esoteric at times, but the company and privacy commitments are top notch, and it has PGP built throughout natively, including an option to automatically PGP encrypt all plaintext emails you receive. I joined it originally as a cheaper alternative to Protonmail but these days I really prefer it.

      Also, you can give it out email aliases for work or to other people without giving away that you’re actually a conspiracy nut and privacy enjoyer. Much better when it’s @mailbox rather than @tutanota or @protonmail

        Or you can also not care what other people think. I think proton.me sounds pretty cool. I’m a physicist too so it kinda makes sense. Tutanota allows quite a few short domains; tuta.io sounds a bit funny but it’s short enough to not be strange.

        When I am forced to give my email for electronic receipts in shops though…it’s a full on {shop_name}@handle.anonaddy.me. No issues or weird looks so far.

    I have been using ProtonMail for a long time now and have been completely satisfied with their service.
