Privacy/encryption is a top priority

Large Gmail archive needs migrating over. If possible, I’d need to receive emails sent to my Gmail account (even if I can’t answer them from that Google email adress).

I recently switched from Gmail to Proton but I’m already looking to switch again.

I just want a mailbox that’s safe and nice. Much like Ente really. I tried Tuta because they are “friends” but I only saw negative feedback…

EDIT: I choose mailbox.org!

    What is the complaint about Proton? I feel like they went out of their way to make the transition from Google as seamless as possible.

      They’ve supported Trump, someone told me. I don’t have an article to link, sorry.

        They don’t support Rump.
        During his first term, Protons president said one specific thing Rump did isn’t automatically terrible for everyone, it may help Proton and other small online providers. And he was right at the time. That’s as close as anyone at Proton ever got to saying anything nice about Rump.

        Proton realy is the best you’ll find out there. None of the others are very close yet.

          That’s untrue: they said far more. It’s really strange to me how Proton defenders never show you their official statement. Here is one (emphasis mine):

          Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:

          Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.

          Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

          At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

          By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.

          Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

          Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

            All that about the dems being captured by corporate interests is true. Had been true for a few decades since Clinton won.

            None of it equates to supporting Rump.

                Vance was the only one to show up. That’s all they said. That’s what happened. Stating what factually happened isn’t suport.

                  In the increasingly slim chance you aren’t just pretending to be ignorant, the official Proton statement makes it clear that all Republicans are the better option, so yes this is praise of Vance.

                    At the time the Republicans were making some noise about holding big tech accountable. Proton thought they may have ment it. But then big tech made the right donations and all that fell apart.

                    Nothing anyone at Proton has ever said, has indicated general support for Republicans or Rump.
