    “We hate that our CEO keeps getting called out and slammed by our followers so we’re gonna stick our fingers in our ears”

    Also good time to remind everyone Tuta exists :) https://tuta.com/

      Would’ve switched in a heartbeat with IMAP support but that’s not in the cards. Stuck with Proton for now.

      I’ve been using Tuta Mail for a few years now. No complaints. Most of the features you would expect. Lack of IMAP support is kinda disappointing but survivable. Their email security is very strong though — they encrypt every part of your email, including subject (some providers only encrypt the body). They’re also rolling out post-quantum encryption of email data at rest, which tickles my crypto nerd side.

      They’ve still a loong way to go to match Proton’s product suite though, as they only offer Email, Contacts and Calendar for now. They’re working on Drive storage next, which is the main reason I currently use Proton.

        honestly that’s a plus for me, I’d rather they focus on a small set of products and do really well with them. before I left Proton I was wary of their scope creep, and then the crypto wallet shit
