Hello, I am thinking on which email provider to use as an alternative for Gmail.
I don’t expect E2EE because I know nobody who uses either Tutanota or Proton Mail personally. I just want an alternative to Gmail, where I can message people I know who use Gmail securely.
EDIT: I have chosen my email provider as Proton Mail because I can send encrypted emails not only to people using Proton Mail, but to people who don’t too, which I feel is better.
I see you’ve more or less chosen proton.
Came here to say that I have been using tutanota for years now and it works very well.
It does fit the use case of encrypted emails to people who don’t use tutanota. How it works is they will receive an unencrypted email letting them know they have an encrypted email waiting for them, along with a secure link to an https encrypted, password protected web interface with inbox and outbox.
Just wanted to point this out for anyone else evaluating privacy focused email providers.
Yes, I’m aware of that, however, I don’t think sending a password-protected email requiring you to go to another website that user-friendly.
Anyways, I’m still thinking on what email service to use.
It’s not too bad. Pretty standard with like anyone who needs to communicate securely like banks and insurance.
Tutanota does the same for e2ee, don’t know why OP didn’t mention that.
