From the statement on their webpage: " We believe in people before profits, and our primary shareholder is the non-profit Proton Foundation whose mission is to fight for an open internet that promotes freedom of speech and freedom of information."

Everyone recommends Tuta in these threads.
I just (finally) had a look at their pricing. Seems egregiously expensive? 6EUR / user / month for their cheapest business plan is a bit nuts
Much rather not maintain any email in any way.

Glad I was always suspicious of Proton.

Welp, I guess I'm switching to Tuta now.
I just set up a paid account on Tuta today replacing my paid Proton account.

Yeah, all the scumbags who use this just for advertising only tried mastodon to see if it would have a significant amount of useful idiots.

i disagree as there are plenty of tools to post to multiple platforms at once. but yea if they were so kind to actually interact then yes

I'm a happy mailbox.org user
I'm only missing tag support on emails from them. In my ever growing archive, I came to realize, that tags are better suited for organizing than folders.
Ideally I would archive in yearly folders and also tag as much as I can.

Ouch! They really are working hard on getting any privacy oriented person to leave them.
I'm glad I have moved away from them.

Tuta is €3.60 a month or €3 a month if you pay for an entire year (€36) not sure if that's "cheap" in your budget.
A .com domain is like $12 per year
Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.
I have only been using Tuta for like a month, still not sure if I'm staying tho...
There's also Mailbox.org which is also about €3 a month, which doesn't have encryption by default and they don't have an official opensource client. (Tuta has their client on F-Droid)
Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.
Are you talking about support request response time here? Or what response time?

Support response time. In my experience, Proton usually responds faster.

They still offer free services, though.
Payed for by subscriptions. Protons free offerings (namely, the VPN) are severely crippled. The free tier VPN is almost trial like to sell you on the full product. I also haven't seen any of those youtuber sponsored -95% off deals other VPN providers have. Proton's pricing isn't exactly cheap which signals they do sell it at actual market rate instead of offering a cheap service which may or may not be subsidized by selling your data.

I think their comment was tongue in cheek
like they're saying you need to pay for server maintenance -
Good point. I’ll add that.
I’m working on custom domain support right now. And pricing is pretty straightforward, since I only have extra storage and sending options. You get 500MB for free, and the ability to receive email. Sending is $1/month. I put that behind a paywall to prevent spammers from using Port87. As a small email service, if you send spam, the big players can blocklist you and kill your service. So, keeping my SMTP servers’ IP address reputation high is really important.
