What other free options are out there? Proton Mail’s free plan restricts to only 3 folders.
EDIT: After careful discussion with others, I’ve reluctantly decided to stick to Gmail, because we don’t know if these other providers will still be around 50 years from now.
I’ve been a Posteo customer for a few years and they’ve been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.
As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.
They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.
Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.
