Recommended me a good private email provider
-
Proton lets you do that too.
-
Fastmail has been treating me well. Unlimited aliases and masked emails are really the only features I use, but it’s got sort of the classic suite of productivity tools you’d expect. I self host equivalents of these, but for a drop in replacement for most of the g-suite it’s good without trying to be more than it needs to be.

Posteo. Seems like it's missing love here. Simple, out of the way, it just works.
-
Posteo ftw!
-
I would happily consider Posteo but the fact that they don't support custom domains is a major deal breaker for me.
If - for any reason - I want to move email providers, I want to be able to do so without changing my email everywhere.
-
I've been using Inbox.eu, provider from Latvia, for a few years now, specifically with my own domain. Was pretty easy to setup, and the support was also good when I messed up some DNS settings.

Switzerland is one of the least shit so I fail to see your point.
-
You proton zealots certainly have your own hill
-
They may, as do morons.
-
Is that your choice word for me?
-
It's great except it's hosted in Australia. Not really privacy focused.
-
Yeah fair. A big part of my interest in it is that it split from Opera Software through a staff buyout, which to me says the people working there and maintaining it care a touch more than some companies. From the literature I consumed when signing up they seemed very privacy forward, and as a Proton VPN user I didn’t want all my eggs in one basket should Proton turn out to be a honeypot. That all being said, I agree with your point that they are subject to a legal system that doesn’t put users first compared to other countries, though for anything really sensitive I’m not really sure I would be using email to begin with, particularly not one I use for general clear net personal communication like banking and such.

The only thing that turns people off is that they cooperate with governments. Well, if you're using it for your business you shouldn't worry about that unless it's illegal business, at which point you have bigger problems
-
If the hat fits, that's up to you
-
They dont "cooperate with governments", they follow the laws they legally have to. All the cases I can think of where they gave info to a government with a legal order to do so, they gave information that has to be logged in order for the system to work and the subjects themselves used poor opsec eg: their real names for accounts and recovery emails...
Some privacy extremists have unrealistic expectations when they sign up to these things without fully understanding how it works and then blame the provider for something they were completely transparent about from the beginning.
-
You're right, they got called out as a "honeypot" for basic KYC...
-
I’ve been using Tuta for several years now, I didn’t know I could use my own domain!
-
Paid tiers only i think, but yes.
-
I am a paid tier… and I have my own business… this is really something I need to do.

If you were projecting any more you'd be a lighthouse
