I’ve thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I’ve looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it’s worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.
The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.
I mean, you could also just self-host 🤷
Self hosting email is a huge PITA. That’s one service you better pay for.
This guy who has been hosting his own email for 23 years and gave up agrees.

I mean, yeah, but first I need to learn to self-host.
Having a Rasp Pi 3/4 with Tailscale installed made it idiot proof for me.
Hell, I gave a spare pi to a family member which means I have off site storage and also get to VPN straight into their network to help them out (they technophobes and have no idea what’s happening). If I can do it, you can.
