ionos!? come on, really?

Considering switching from ProtonMail to Mailfence, but so far it seems like quite a few services see Mailfence as a spammy domain. The paid version gives the option for mf.me as a domain. Arguably, that one would be less censored by being a paid service, but we are not sure.

Maybe we should just stick with Proton. We use our email mostly as a digital passport anyhow. It's not really used for communication purposes.

Thoughts?

Normie noob question alert: is there anywhere that offers a comparison of the following email providers?

Mailbox
Mailfence
Posteo
TutaMail

I'm trying to divest from Google's ecosystem, so looking for somewhere to set up for the long-term (preferably based in the EU).

Any and all replies are also welcome. Thanks, folks!

If / when you can, change your:

phone to @WeAreFairphone
laptop to @frameworkcomputer
email platform to https://posteo.de/en / https://mailfence.com/ / @mailbox_org / @Tutanota.
office software suite to @libreoffice.
cloud provider to @nextcloud

(All other suggestions / corrections / warnings / caveats welcome!)

Anyone have any experience with #Posteo? How does it compare to #Proton? Been looking at #Mailfence too but like, they protect less than Proton?

I know, #Tuta exists but I don't rly like their vibe.

Looking for some #tech advice. Trying to move from #Gmail to more secure #email accounts. Set up free @protonprivacy account and was planning on doing one more. Planned on using #Mailfence but they won't let me register. I was thinking of going with @startmail or @fastmail as a general secure inbox. Any thoughts or experiences with them? A third option is to do Mail Plus with #Proton and have just one box. Wanted to keep costs lower ($5 or below). Doing this as part @cyberlyra's Cyber Cleanse!

Just logged in again for a second to block Proton out of spite, after having cancelled my VPN with them (in favor of #Mullvad) as well as my email account (in favor of #MailFence). Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hang in there, everyone. Keep doing what you can to keep yourselves and those around you safe.

I want to suggest email providers focused on security like Protonmail, Tutanota, Mailfence, etc. to put in place a canari email warning system to propose to their clients.
This is how this would work: you subscribe to their service and every Monday or every 1st of the month you receive an email that tells you something to the effect of "We are happy to announce to you that to this day we have not been subpoenaed to provide any information regarding your account."
That way the day they do receive a subpoena with a gag order of course they can't legally warn you that you are under surveillance, but they just don't send you your weekly / monthly email anymore and now, if you are attentive, you know something is going on.

I think that should be legal pretty much anywhere in the world, right? They can prohibit you from warning someone, but they can't attack you for NOT sending a false declaration in your name. Maybe someone more familiar with laws can chime in on this.

"Canari emails" of course because of the proverbial but also very real canaris in coal mines.

Después de mucho comparar, me he decidido por abrirme cuenta en #Mailfence. Ya os contaré la experiencia.

Do anyone knows an email web app with friendly ui? I use https://mailfence.com and it's UI looks very ugly.

Note that Mailfence completely satisfies me, I just need an web app for it. Thank you.

Note that I need an web app specifically, meaning it's accessible via browser only. Do not suggest me any desktop apps. I do not want to install anything.

Please don't suggest an email provider (like Proton and Tutanota), I don't need one.

I've switched my main email provider to a company called #Mailfence over the last couple of days. Very smooth and comes highly recommended from a security point of view.

Today is a good day to run away as far as you can from the #Chrome browser (and anything else from #Google really).
