It's a corporation, so, no.

You need to specify what you want an alternative to, as Proton hosts a lot of services.

OK then, what alternative do i have to Proton Mail?

Tuta are better, but not much. They've been getting worse every year.

I switched to Disroot early this year and it's been smooth sailing. They're not a corporation, and I can talk to them directly and not some dumb outsourced support staff.

Ty for sharing. This like something I can get behind! ✊

OK, will switch to Disroot now. I wonder what my adress will be now...

Your best bet is to purchase your own domain name for email and learn how to switch DNS / MX records, so if you need to switch email providers you aren’t constantly changing your email address

This is slightly more involved but it is the best option. This way it does not matter if proton is a good alternative or not, you can easily switch whenever you want.

Agreed. The only general issue is moving or archiving your emails if you need to move services or servers, but thats easy enough to ensure you aren’t locked into somewhere as opposed to keeping each old account and setting up email forwarding

Murena Mail (Workspace, with several apps, similar to Google Docs, but better) is also a good choice. Murena products rely on open-source software, including the deGoogled operating system /e/OS and NextCloud, partner companies, among others, Fairphone. EU
