I feel like I’m the only person here who doesn’t want encryption in email, I just want something that works with any client.
There are a lot of privacy-focused alternatives, but not all of them are. Fastmail and Infomatrix are two excellent options that are more focused on convenience
don’t trust proton too much. ceo is a fascist.
Switzerland is still not part of the EU. Proton, Informaniak and Kolab should have the Swiss flag and not EU. It’s not the same laws and they are not forced to apply GDPR to their policies.
I’m neurodiverse and I can’t see this properly due to colours and layout. Can anyone give me a hand?
A free or very low cost service for hosting my catchall domain address
I just recently switched from gmail to Mailfence with a custom domain, and I’m pretty happy thus far. I looked into it for a while trying to find the best option, and Mailfence turned out the best for me. Tuta was too locked down for me and Mailbox just rubbed me the wrong way. Mailbox has had a known major security issue with custom domains for literally 7 years now and still has yet to addressed it, their webmail is extremely slow and buggy (would switch to German randomly), they don’t encrypt messages at rest (which to be fair isn’t too important, but a lot of other services still do it), and I’ve seen multiple reports of their support being sub-par. I feel like they’re probably still fine, but I just feel more confident in Mailfence.
I wish there was a tool that allowed you to see all the shit you have signed up under your google account so it would make it easier to move
Aren’t you able to see this in your Google account settings? I could have sworn I’ve seen a list of all the sites where I used “Sign in with Google”.
Yeah that’s only if you sign in with google, and don’t just regularly sign up xD
Can’t beat the pricing of https://purelymail.com/. I’ve been using them for a couple years now.
Ive never paid for a single email client in my life, so yes you can beat any pricing except for free.
Is there a european version of this?
There’s a lot of cheap mail-hotels, and a domain name is not costly either. I pay maybe 10 $ a year for both, and the mail is completely mine. I use Thunderbird as my mail-client on both windows, linux and android. Never had an issue, it just works.
I think that the biggest issue for a lot of people is, that they have to spend a little money on it. They buy shoes for 100 $ without thinking much about it, but private communication they often want for free…
There is also „poczta interia” which is email provider. They support third party email clients and it’s free. Their official app has ads and interface is in polish
Fastmail is my favorite. I tried Proton but the android app is awful. Tuta seems decent, if a bit messy. But Fastmail got my money for 2 reasons:
- Not Google or Microsoft
- Email, contacts, calendar, notes, and files are all in a single app. Didn’t realize I’d care about that until I tried it.
I don’t know about others, but I only have 2 emails, one with Google Mail and the other with Proton Mail.
FYI you can’t use thunderbird with the proton free tier, only with premium. Switched recently and that was quite a surprise to me.
I’m a bit confused why there’s a profit share indicator on the legend when seemingly none profit share. Otherwise, this is very cool!
Sorry, that is a bit confusing. The other guides have companies with that indicator. Should have removed it here though.
