    Please suggest a good and relatively affordable private email provider. I am considering tuta, mailbox right now. I know proton has gone rogue.

    I cannot self host one and the email provider must be somewhat reputable as I will be using this for my work portfolio. Anything with €1-€3 per month is encouraged.

    I still use proton, even after their terrible trump takes, but mostly because I have the legacy tier subscription and I haven't found a better alternative.

      I am using startmail at the moment with a custom domainand am pleased but I do plan on migrating due to the cost for adding more mailboxes. So I am reading along here but from my research recently I personally also found Tuta attractive along with mailbox for their price and feature set.
      What has proton done by the way? I have never really trusted the organization but has something happened recently?

        It's an easy set up too. Ibdint agree with the CEO etc but Proton duo has been easy to convince my partner to give it a shot.

          I'm using Posteo and have no reason to complain about anything. It pretty much just works. Few bells and whistles.

                  Email isn't private. It was designed to be robust not private. Encryption never really caught on; and your counterparties using Gmail or some Microsoft server will kill any expectation of privacy you might have.

                  WW II's Gordon Welchman is worth reading about. Similar nasty end as Turing. Not as well known as Turing but a similar contribution before the encryption was actually solved.

                  Have used Zoho for decades, don't seem to have had any issues with them selling my info - use it with Addy.io. I don't gain anything from this reference/comment.

                    Been using Mailbox for years without any issue. German reliability. But the fact that one of Proton's directors revealed that he agrees with 75 million Americans does not mean that a whole company, based in Switzerland and with many other stakeholders, has "gone rogue". I'm not getting into a new fight about this here but I really think American progressives need to drop this religious approach to dissent and heterodoxy and just relax a little. It will be okay.

                      I've been using mailbox.org for a couple of years now (a full switch from gmail to make sure I hadn't left anything over took me about a year), and I'm very happy with the service, can wholeheartedly recommend.

                        I can second Posteo. Functional, affordable, FOSS, ecological and private enough for my needs.

                          Afaik they don't offer to use a custom domain.

                            Like all others. But they can't give a lot more.

                                It was the company’s official stance per their official social media account. Not just the CEO/one board member.

                                  If you're breaking the law to such an extent that the Swiss government compels Proton to log your IP address, you can use Tor as Proton recommends for that exact use case.

                                    Tuta. Regardless of email provider, chose one that lets you use your own domain - that way it's easier to change providers.

                                      Proton's CEO seems to be a right-wing jackass.

                                        As legally required. Any company that wants to operate aboveboard needs to comply with local law - that includes Proton.
