Folks seem to be favoring fastmail above most of the other options. Does anyone like ProtonMail? Any particularly compelling pros or cons for either?

- newscracker 4y agoBoth Fastmail and ProtonMail are quite expensive if you need more than one mailbox (user account). ProtonMail offers IMAP only through its own bridge application, and that’s only for paid accounts. Fastmail offers IMAP without any additional software requirements. I would suggest looking at options like Mailbox.org, Runbox, Mailfence, and a few others that I don’t recall right now. For a pricing scheme that’s not based on number of mailboxes but on other parameters like storage and mails sent, there are options like mxroute and Migadu. I don’t prefer either of these for different reasons (the former is in the U.S. and the latter left me with a bad taste when it moved from a free plan to paid).
- nix23 4y agoProtonMail (Switzerland) and especially Ctemplar (Iceland) are my favorites. I always recommend Ctemplar (even if i am swiss)....however i have my own mail-server..so there's that ;) EDIT: OHDAMN READ THIS!!!: https://ctemplar.com/ctemplar-is-shutting-down/ https://ctemplar.com/ctemplar-is-shutting-down/ Now i have to make some calls
