Iโve been using Tuta, and while I like them as a company and for their privacy, it bothers me that I have to use their email client. It increases switching costs for me because I canโt use the same client as my previous as I switch. I also donโt like the client. I understand why they do it - to control privacy, but I donโt see why I shouldnโt have the choice and why for example using Thunderbird doesnโt still comply with that.
I donโt trust proton because of its right wing expressions. Infomaniak is (to my knowledge) not focusing on privacy.
I also switched to Tuta recently and wasn't aware until just now that it doesn't support IMAP because I hadn't gotten around to trying to set it up yet. Having found that out, I completely agree with you. It's true that supporting IMAP would be less secure, but it should be my choice as the customer (and yes, I am the customer because I'm not on the free tier) if I want to knowingly make that trade-off.
+1 for tuta
I'm still not sure if I want to switch to Tuta, Proton or Mailbox...
To me, Proton seems like the one that will enshittificate the fastest. But I could be wrong, tho. Anyone has any opinions, insights, things that could be insightful?
On their profile I actually note that for Proton: https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/502XMZgodpzlHVkhrmJMYd/
People in the community are already raising concerns that they are too focused on pushing new tools out rather than improving the ones they already have. Mailbox.org, Tuta and Posteo would be better choices if you are looking for an email-first provider.
I am in the process of leaving proton for this and political reasons. Im looking at mailbox and tuta but still haven't decided.
+1 for Mailbox. Turned a fan since I started using it seriously. Actually it can do much more as it replaced the whole Google Suite for me. Especially the office capabilities are quite astounding.
thanks! and also very much appreciate the overview!
Way too much over-engineered to be useful for any newcomers. Not informative at all without tons of additional explanation.
Fastmail servers are still in the US.ย
As far as I know they have not removed them.ย
Yeah I believe they still are - will add that as a disclaimer
Emclient doesn't work in desktop on Linux...
Anyone know an EU provider that supports OIDC (or LDAP in a pinch) so it can hook up to an Authentik instance? I'm currently looking for an alternative to my US provider.
