I’d still use proton over gmail in a lesser than two evil situation. In fact I’m still using it. I just migrated over before the recent news about the head of proton. I’m sure I’ll switch eventually…probably why I clicked in this thread. Ehem…carry on.
better is a relative term.
what particular do you want in your email provider?
I’d choose Proton Mail as a simple alternative. Fastmail is also a good option if you value compatibility with different email apps.
Literally anything? Except maybe Outlook?
- mailbox.org
- disroot
- postsnap.de
- Tuta
USPS.
Fastmail.com is what I moved to.
I’m using a combo of mailbox.org and Addy.io for aliasing. Works great.
I pointed all 13 of my various emails to a forward@mydomain email on Addy. Put a rule on mailbox.org to throw those emails in a folder called “change me”, and ive been going through daily and changing or deleting or unsubscribing from everything that hits that box.
It feels nice only having one email again but also having the ability to make and turn off email aliases to stop junk and spam.
Mailbox.org used to be in a distant third third place after recommendations for Proton and Tuta. Glad to see it’s top of the pile a lot of the time now.
I’ve been using it for years. It’s cheap and has a lot more going on than just email. Mailbox took me a long way into my degoogling.
That’s a really clean solution. I’ve been meaning to clean up my emails. This might be what I need
I’ve been using Posteo for a while now, no complaints.

Infomaniak.
No E2EE but not Big Tech (yet long-standing, since 90s), more generous free tier than Gmail (20GB for e-mail and 15GB for files), and its office suite may work better than Google Docs.
I use mailbox.org for email, calendar, tasks.
I made the migration over to Fastmail recently and have been very happy with it. Good engineering culture, security conscious, has all the features I’d expect, no nonsense.
Would recommend it!
at work we use electric embers. its a coop. you have to have a domain tho, more of a group solution.
Thundermail is gonna be the best
Based on what?
I just like it 👍
Its quite expensive, a good 3-6 x the price of other email services.
Anything but Proton
You’re really going to recommend Gmail over Proton? Let’s keep it sane here…
“As an alternative to Gmail” is the start of the whole thing, it’s assumed they’re moving away from Gmail
Outlook is better than Proton?
Outlook is not an email provider. That’s twice you’ve said that. Are you sure you want in this conversation?
WTF are you talking about? Outlook is exclusively an email provider? Are you sure you want in this conversation?
Why?
Telling their employees to use more AI.
Telling their employees not using AI is loser thinking.
They’ve become very political, siding with the far right, actively ignoring community concerns (see the recent petition deletions) and still, while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata. It’s been long a concern among the funny hat communities that they are a possible honeypot as well.
while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata.
No email provider encrypts headers nor metadata but Tuta. And even Tuta does not encrypt mail addresses nor date of message sent or received - as these are necessary to deliver a mail at all.
To avoid metadata use e.g. Signal instead of e-mail.
