Hello, I’ve been looking into email providers. I’m not an activist, just a regular user concerned over privacy.
I used CTemplar in the past until it shut down. Had a cockli email and although it isn’t Google the privacy isn’t stellar either. I tried to get into Proton, but being unable to use Thunderbird on he free plan was a massive turn-off for me since I like switching easily between different accounts.
After a bit of searching the following came across for me as the best services: [free] Autistici, PARANOID, Disroot. [paid] Posteo, Elude.
Assuming I theoretically got invites for all the free services (they’re all reliant on manual approvation), which one would you recommend?
@edit: After reading a bit on the free services, I decided that I will choose them in a Disroot > Autisci > PARANOID order of priority,
Can’t sign up to their services completely anonymous, if you try to sign up using Tor/VPN it requires SMS confirmation, a previous email (and they block temp addresses) or a donation. Suspicious.
Ugh I didn’t know it went that direction so fast. Thanks for this.
