Too bad Fastmail isn't on this list: I really like their email service.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoDon't they provide unique aliases? That's a competitive advantage over protonmail in case of surveillance.
- encryptluks2 4y agoProtonMail purchased SimpleLogin which is a great email alias service.
- clairity 4y agoi'd incidentally just learned about this a few days ago, posted here (with no traction): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32782944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32782944 , which in turn links out to https://simplelogin.io/blog/simplelogin-join-proton/ https://simplelogin.io/blog/simplelogin-join-proton/ they have a limited free tier and a paid tier. i felt a little uneasy about the emails seemingly going through another set of servers (in plaintext?) for the filtering so i didn't sign up, but would love to hear other perspectives.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI absolutely love SimpleLogin. It is open source as well, so if for some reason the SaaS platform ceases then you can use a VPS. They support PGP encryption and hiding subjects too. They also have an open source app in the Fdroid marketplace.
- artificialLimbs 4y agoYes.
- b3morales 4y agoFastmail is an Australian company. Granted Proton isn't based in the US either, but their whole schtick is privacy, whereas Fastmail is "just" a commercial email provider. Note I have nothing against them, just saying there's no particular reason for this US legislation to be in their focus.
- rediguanayum 4y agoThey have a US office. Fastmail's "schtick" is that they very much support open IETF standards which I admire. Their CEO, Bron Gondwana, is a frequent participant at the IETF. Disclaimer: I work for a competitor of theirs, but work with Fastmail folks on standards development.
- mxuribe 4y agoYeah, i half expected a bunch of "smaller" companies - like in the email space but not only email - to add their support as well. Would be really cool, if tons of smaller firms rally like mad around this, and make PR headlines to bring tons of attention to the lawmakers. Fingers crossed!
