Hi everyone! Since I was absolutely fucked by Skiff (thank fuck I didn’t pay for it) I’m looking for a new email provider :) I’m not sure I like how proton is transforming into a full on suit, I only need email. Any other recommendations or is proton my only choice really?

    proton requires them to use their software and adds a footer with protonmail ads to all of your emails without an option to disable it without paying up

      I think you need to read up on the reasons why services like GMail and Facebook are free.

        yes but they shouldn’t be hiding that fact deep in the settings
        also I don’t care about encryption and stuff if it prevents me from using my favorite mail client without installing their bridge software

      Ads are harmless. The harmful things is JavaScript.

      requires them to use their software

      And their software doesn’t even have an option to display HTML messages as it is plain text messages.

        by software i mean the imap bridge, but i agree that the official client is pretty bad too
