What's everyone using for email in a post Google world?
Tuta and Mailbox
posteo
Tutamail. Actually great company values. Company works more like a coop. Diversity and inclusion is part of its message. Encryption is paramount.
Fastmail
mailbox.org has been pretty good. you can also sync contacts and calendar using DAVx5 on android. They don't have any official apps. but thunderbird mobile works well.
Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)
I've been running my own email for 25 years and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 😔
Fair TBH. It is such a critical service to keep working.
But it does feel pretty amazing to free yourself of the whims of a provider 😅 I assume that's why you have not gone back either? ^^
For many years it was just that I didn't trust anyone not to hand my data over to someone else, whether that be governments, companies, or (unintentionally) hackers.
Nowadays I would probably trust Proton Mail, since they have pretty good encryption. But as you point out then I would be dependent on a provider.
Currently I mostly have problems when I lose power or when my ISP renumbers. Probably I should just migrate and save myself pain from Google and Microsoft making it hard to send mail to their users (which is most people on the planet).
Oh shit, yes, hosting at-home and with a non-static IP sounds like hard mode, oof.
I am hosting at a server provider (guess I am dependent on them, but at least it's on their existence, not on a policy-of-the-day), with a static IP. Had no problems with MS/Google, only with T-online, who wanted me to host a website on the domain with clear contact information.
I always thought that I would just end up in spam or just blocked if I tried self hosting it 😅
I want to do this. Do you know of any good VPS provider in a privacy-respecting jurisdiction that allows this?
I'm using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.
I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc
Hey. Been using it for years. It’s great
Addy.io + Posteo
protonmail
I think there is some news about proton CEO
dont care
Proton mail is pretty good. And they have a trustworthy VPN service.
Update: I officially rescind my statement. Do not use Proton.
Are there any alternatives with similar features?
Tutanota & fastmail get reccomended often lately (i still need to check them out) Posteo is good too but they have only paid options (1€+)
Fuck proton, get off proton.
Get mullvad if you want a good VPN provider. Get tutamail if you want a good email provider.
