Funny enough, I switched from protonmail to migadu. As I've learned more about cryptography and modern email, the promises they make about email don't hold up well.
If you really need to talk to someone over email securely, PGP over email is the way to go.
- lmas 5y agoThat's too bad :( Haven't done any research on proton yet, so I know nothing about them besides their own claims. You got any references to share? I've never had the need to protect my mail (using PGP for example) as I don't send mails that's sensitive enough for it or are forced to message with tech illiterate people (sorry) that can't use it. I just want a privacy friendly service that won't give up my data to uninvolved 3rd parties :(
- Qub3d 5y agoWell migadu, like Proton technologies, is based in Switzerland. A lot of it comes down to reading over a company's privacy policy (if you can't understand it / its really long, that's a red flag), where they are located, and -- important -- if its free or paid. Here's the write-up that convinced me to switch: https://drewdevault.com/2020/06/19/Mail-service-provider-recommendations.html https://drewdevault.com/2020/06/19/Mail-service-provider-rec... Protonmail is mentioned in the footnotes.
