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, RiseUp. [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?

    They removed that from the ToS but before it was very much there. They still kept this:
