Oh, bad timing. Just a few months ago I was on the fence about Protonmail vs Fastmail (vs all others) and ended jumping to Fastmail: the privacy pro didn't seem to outweigh the cons. Now with open sourcing stuff the pros do get somewhat better... But reevaluating and switching would be troublesome.... Maybe in a few years I'll revisit it :)
- frodprefect 7y agoThe pricing is very different. Fastmail allows unlimited domains where proton is almost double the cost for two.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoDoes fastmail offer encrypted server side email though?
- dyingkneepad 7y agoWell, not just pricing or privacy or domains, there's a lot that's different. That's why I mentioned weighing pros vs cons.
- novok 7y agoYeah protonmail charging for the marginally free stuff, like domains and aliases is very disappointing. I make a new email for every account, in the form of catchall_alias@username.domain.com do I have to pay proton mail $24/month for that privilege? Also not providing 20GB space as a default paid option in this day in age of $5/month/TB is also very disappointing.
- danielskogly 7y agoI've been with ProtonMail a couple of years now, and recently made the step to buy my own domain to use for personal email. What I'm hoping is that whenever I want to switch provider in the future, it won't be any more trouble than to switch some DNS settings :)
- dyingkneepad 7y agoThe easiness to migrating away was one of the cons of Proton Mail to me, but I don't remember the exact reasons for it besides not using standard protocols. Having standard protocols really makes everything easier. With the open sourcing of the tools, maybe it will get better?
