The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.
There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.
I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.
As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!
I’m still not sure if I want to switch to Tuta, Proton or Mailbox…
To me, Proton seems like the one that will enshittificate the fastest. But I could be wrong, tho. Anyone has any opinions, insights, things that could be insightful?
On their profile I actually note that for Proton: https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/502XMZgodpzlHVkhrmJMYd/
People in the community are already raising concerns that they are too focused on pushing new tools out rather than improving the ones they already have. Mailbox.org, Tuta and Posteo would be better choices if you are looking for an email-first provider.
+1 for Mailbox. Turned a fan since I started using it seriously. Actually it can do much more as it replaced the whole Google Suite for me. Especially the office capabilities are quite astounding.
I am in the process of leaving proton for this and political reasons. Im looking at mailbox and tuta but still haven’t decided.
thanks! and also very much appreciate the overview!
Why not try one at a time?
Or do what I did and switch to all of them. One can never have too many email addresses :P
