Recommended me a good private email provider
-
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.
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'm using Posteo and have no reason to complain about anything. It pretty much just works. Few bells and whistles.
I can second Posteo. Functional, affordable, FOSS, ecological and private enough for my needs.

Do you use your custom domain or their own domain?
Afaik they don't offer to use a custom domain.

Proton logs users IP addresses and shares with law enforcement
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58476983Like all others. But they can't give a lot more.

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.
you should take a look at the article linked by @asap down below.

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

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58476983If 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.

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

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58476983As legally required. Any company that wants to operate aboveboard needs to comply with local law - that includes Proton.

Proton has not gone rogue.

Unlimited inboxes. You're just limited to inbox space, but you can have multiple domains.
I'll be moving over to them when my current subscription runs out with my current provider

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58476983I don't care about that. I assume all sites keeps logs.

This might make you feel better, it did for me:
It does make me feel a little better, but the fact that they doubled down and hasn't gone out to clarify make me really disappointed. Because they are a non profit foundation makes it a bit more secure also.

Another mailbox.org user here. I did the same switch around the same time and I can recommend as well. Setting up custom domains is also not hard and well documented in their knowledge-base. I am also using it for calendars and contacts with no issues at all. A plus of their premium (3€/month) plan is that you have access to a series of other things (appointments, videoconferencing etc.) which are a nice thing to have if you need them (as an occasional teacher in academia I enjoyed having the options, especially since I could avoid Google/Microsoft stuff).
The only annoying thing is how they handle 2fa login on their website. I rarely need to login, but when I do I always suffer.

I strongly recommend this as well. Swapped to Tuta and my own domain after leaving Proton. Having a domain for future moves is huge, I wish I had considered it sooner.

Consider one that supports MTA-STS. DANE is a plus but not widely deployed.
If EU, you have a lot of good choices. US providers are limited.

https://mxroute.com/ if you need many different domains and email addresses but don't need a huge amount of space, very cheap and just works.
But if you have issues the guys who run it are quite rough and brutal, so support wil be tough on you and expect you know a lot about protocols, etc.

oh yeah, I have my own domain since Uhm 2004 and have switched providers about, hm, six times without problems. I never delete emails either (spam I do) and just use Thunderbird's drag and drop to move MA mails from one server to another.
