I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?

    I’m surprised there’s not a lot of votes for Fastmail. I was considering moving my low-volume domains to them.

    I use Tutanota, which is based in Germany. It’s FOSS and it’s apparently resistant to decryption by quantum computers, which is impressive. They are also currently working on TutaDrive, which is a quantum-resistant cloud storage provider.

      Indeed. I switched fully to pm recently mostly because it’s one subscription for a bunch of services I was paying separately for.

      So far so good.

        Yeah the $10/mo plan for Pritin is actually super good, and they have a whole suite of tools that covers basically all you could need. Though I’ve been liking Tutanota, and they just announced an e2e cloud drive so I’m patiently waiting for that. I feel like if I wanted to get proton drive, I’d have to go into their whole ecosystem and don’t really want to migrate my setup and like the Tutanota company.

        I know someone who self hosts email and they are constantly bitching that people don’t get their emails

          Unknown domains often get refused connections from mail servers. Also, it can be easy to get blacklisted.

            Yes, because an unknown domain is practically guaranteed to be spammy garbage. Probably malware too.

            Don’t self host mail. Just use a privacy respecting and encrypted mail provider.
