> What do you recommend instead? Fastmail? FastMail and Mailbox spring to mind as the premiere ‘alternate’ e-mail hosts. I’ve heard decent things about Tutanot

  Tutanota I did hear something negative about -- they're beholden to the German government (not to necessarily say that others aren't -- ultimately nation-states tend to get their way), but I'm willing to include it if the community generally trusts it/is OK with the tradeoff.

  Fastmail is based in Australia, which IIRC has a pretty dismal privacy situation, with laws that mandate they have to be able to decrypt user data and provide full access to user accounts when asked, plus zero standing for non-citizens. Might not be an issue for most since the Five Eyes get it all anyway etc. etc., but it was a showstopper for me. Last time I looked Mailbox.org seemed to be the best EU-domestic provider.

    Oh shit, Fastmail is based in Australia? I don't know how this escaped me/how I'd never heard of this. Yeah, Australia's policies regarding the internet are fully foobar'd. Removing them from the listing. Nothing against the people of course but it's off my radar as even a place to visit for this reason (not that they need my tourism).
