To clarify:

ProtonMail. I don’t hate it, but their choices in what to monetize is bizarre to me, like the ability to make more folders than three, you have to pay to have more folders. Also, it’s not a perfect mail system, you’re going to not get or be able to send 100% of mail because there are mail services people or businesses use that simply don’t register when using ProtonMail.

In an age where there are tons and tons of things out there that is a subscription, paying for the ability to have more features that have been normalized would turn off some people.

    Never heard of Proton being rejected anywhere.

    My requirements for email are

    • Not Google
    • Works reliably and can be trusted to do so indefinitely (no small operations that might fold)
    • Has decent storage space so I dont have to micromanage deleting/saving emails
    • Doesn’t have to be spelled out when I verbally tell someone (sorry but tuta fails this one)

    I’m using proton for now and it checks all these boxes for me, but would be happy to switch to something more trustworthy if I knew of one.

      I’m trying Tuta now, and at the end of the year I’ll switch because it doesn’t have enough features for me.

      Can anyone recommend fastmail? Or alternatives?
