- ScottFree 7y agoWhich primary competitors would those be? Asking for a friend...
- mkskm 7y agoProtonMail is the most promising.
- erikbye 7y agoI've been using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN for over a year, paid subscription. Both web and mobile client is ok, not great. On desktop I use Outlook (Windows) and Thunderbird (Linux). I like the domain @pm.me. Overall happy with the service. Customer support has answered questions competently.
- cotelletta 7y agoProtonmail has a huge gap between promises and what's delivered. Their IMAP bridge is slow and buggy, their mobile app hasn't been meaningfully updated in a year, and even as a paying user they put upsell ads in the sidebar, above your own folders. If PM is not a honeypot, they are incompetent.
- pheug 7y agoProtonmail probably the most hyped, but personally I switched to Tutanota. I like their commitment to open source - you can build their webmail client yourself. They support full text search (unlike Protonmail) and also 4-5x cheaper than Protonmail/Fastmail, if you're fine with their cheapest 1GB storage plan.
- commandersaki 7y agoAll these other companies are trying to sell you on the notion of email privacy and security. The thing is - email isn't just sitting in your mailbox to only be viewed by you. The recipient has a copy which could leak it (or via hax). Copies of email can be saved by both incoming and outgoing systems. If you need security & privacy - email is not the technology you want to use whatsoever.
