Hello, I’ve been looking into email providers. I’m not an activist, just a regular user concerned over privacy.
I used CTemplar in the past until it shut down. Had a cockli email and although it isn’t Google the privacy isn’t stellar either. I tried to get into Proton, but being unable to use Thunderbird on he free plan was a massive turn-off for me since I like switching easily between different accounts.
After a bit of searching the following came across for me as the best services: [free] Autistici, PARANOID, Disroot. [paid] Posteo, Elude.
Assuming I theoretically got invites for all the free services (they’re all reliant on manual approvation), which one would you recommend?
@edit: After reading a bit on the free services, I decided that I will choose them in a Disroot > Autisci > PARANOID order of priority,
I’m not sure what the official advice is but, I’ve been pretty happy with Proton Mail. They have a free and several tiers of paid options.
I missed the line about proton. I’ve seen others be successful with thunderbird but idk there may be some breaking things going on.
Can’t sign up to their services completely anonymous, if you try to sign up using Tor/VPN it requires SMS confirmation, a previous email (and they block temp addresses) or a donation. Suspicious.
