Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm kinda done with them. Anyone have any suggestions for a mail provider? I'm not yet willing to self-host that.

It's sad, I really like their UI

If you're afraid of self-hosting, https://mailcow.email/ is pretty great and easy to setup for that if you want to go to this adventure, else, Tuta would be their main competitor but I don't really like their UI

While not exactly privacy focused, I've been using zoho for a while. Really happy with it. I distrust most of the ones that sell privacy as their main thing, because email is not designed to be private.

If all you need is mail, Tuta.

I've been happy with mailbox.org. I left proton after the boot licking. I had been a paying customer for years.

But are they on Mastodon? This is a very important factor for my purchasing decision.

I just signed up for mailbox.org, let's see how this goes
