I’ll start off by saying I get where the push back is coming from. I heard some of the sub-human things the CEO has said. But I’ve been looking at the competition and I’m not seeing any instant winners.
I get anger I get having morals but constantly changing emails as your main is exhausting. the features Proton offers for me have always worked and worked great.
My question is outside of being a typical CEO AI shareholder simp, has Protons security protocols lapsed ?
What other options ? Particularly ones with generous free tiers.
I’m sure this will get downvoted to hell but I need to ask …


Buy a domain. Point it to your email provider. Want to swap providers? You can at any time, email address unaffected
I get how this works for the incoming, but what about outgoing?
Outgoing is also tied to your domain. You set some records under your domain through your domain provider, pointing it to your email service. Ingoing and outgoing then just work without anything else needed
The main reason I don’t? Can’t think of a suitable domain name 😭
Look at these names: Microsoft, Gimp, Latex. They’re all innuendos, but no one bats an eye. Just pick a kookie name, you’ll be fine
Microsoft is is a portmanteau microcomputer software.
Latex is Lamport Tex, not innuendo. Latex is rubber.
Dare I ask… Microsoft?
Warning: Naughty
Micropenis, soft
No way they named it after that, right?
…
Right?
They say they didn’t, but who would admit to such a thing anyway?
The burden of proof lies on you—i.e. MS named itself innocently until proven guilty.
However… I don’t think I care :3
and the thosands of stored messages in the inbox?
Export + Import, though you shouldn’t be relying on an email provider to store critical information. Backups always
