    I see Proton and Tuta recommended here, often.

    I also see complaints about both (Proton’s politics and Tuta’s tendency to lock and clean free accounts).

    Both seem better than Google, who seem to be tightening their grip on those unable to walk away.

      Tuta’s tendency to lock and clean free accounts

      Tuta deletes free accounts that have not been logged into for 6 months.

      Proton’s politics

      What?

        Tuta deletes free accounts that have not been logged into for 6 months.

        This, and I heard that some legitimate newly registered free accounts have been wiped a couple days later by anti-bot automation. So I guess one would want to age their Tuta account (or you know, just pay for it) before they trust it with too much.

        I’ve had a free Tuta account for some time without any issues.

            Kind of matters to some of us whose parents can’t go to the grocery store without being profiled despite all things being in order because of how they look to other people.

      Better rec is get your own domain and try out any other service, if you own the domain you can always hop if needed.

      Proton locks automatic email forwarding behind a subscription, so if you ever want to move away from them but not immediately lose any emails that go to that inbox, your only choice is to pay.

        Good info, thanks!

        I route my email through my domain names, and so I can reroute emails at the DNS level, but I can see this being important to some folks.
