Protonmail.uservoice.com is supposedly “The Voice of the Proton Community”. Well last week I was tracking a post that was rising rapidly to the top-most voted in the “general ideas” category. And this morning when I went to check if it was at the top yet, it’s just gone without a trace. No sign that it was ever there.
I think this tells us all we need to know about proton unfortunately.
Yup. I’m in the renovation month. I guess I’ll move to monthly payments for an extra month while i sort the addresses out, and then fully cancel.
Same here. Everything’s moved except for addresses I’ll give a month or two I might have forgotten and VPN. What services did you go with?
I’m testing Tuta, but I’m not loving their app so far. I might just go mailbox.org. Since it uses standard IMAP/POP etc, you can use any client you like instead. Not like I’m really gaining a lot by cyphering my email when they can easily read it from any other unencrypted destination the moment its sent or received.
mailbox.org was at the top of my list but ended up pulling the trigger on Thundermail. Time will tell if I made the right call lol
I started fiddling with zohomail.
I don’t know much about the service, but it’s free and not Google/Yahoo.
Though at this point I’d take Yahoo over Gmail
Zoho is an Indian corpo and their products have a rather crappy user experience. Only some features are free and it will keep pestering you to buy subscription.
Looks like they now going heavily into AI too.
eww, I’d really like to stop getting AI summaries of the things I am trying to read.
its like getting spoilers to something about 10 seconds before it happens.
Haven’t heard of that one. Gonna look into it, having alternatives is always good
I’m currently in the same process. Almost half of my accounts already moved from their mail addresses. This time I was using my own domain for all of them, to make further switches way easier.
I went for:
-TuTa (for mail + calendar)
-KeePassDX (with Syncthing) for password manager
-Filen.io for cloud storage (already had something there)
-iVPN for VPN (not switched yet), alternative would be TORvpn which is still in beta though (Mullvad is out, since their CEO supports a fascist party in Sweden)
I also went custom domains, KeePassXC/DX, and Filen. For mail I’m using Thundermail (been reading Tuta might be going the same route as Proton), calendar I’m gonna try and self host with Nextcloud and Thundermail/Fossify calendar. Still looking for a VPN. I need port forwarding, and it looks like the only comparable option is AirVPN, but it’s based in Italy. I’ve learned since the US went fascist and I stopped supporting American to just do my best and not let perfect be the enemy of good. I can accept having to stay with just Proton VPN for the time being. Using one service is better than seven.
