https://skiff.com/data-migration https://skiff.com/data-migration I’m really upset about this, I was about to go all in on Skiff after being burnt by ProtonMail. Glad I didn’t. Feel really bad for those who did.

I literally just migrated from Proton yesterday. Oh well, Tuta now i guess...

  FYI I didn't log into my tuta account for a while and they deleted it completely. No way I can recover the data and personal connections I made using it. Also Discord was like "yeah you may have your Discord credentials, but we need you to check your email before you can log in again anyway." So I lost my Discord account, too. But I started using this new thing called Skiff and . . . Oh.

      Me too and I used my tuta email address as my email for bitwarden. If I had forgotten my password then good night. Back when I created an account they didnt have a popup telling you about 6 month deletions, my email was just gone some day.

    Their policy states that free accounts will be deleted if not active for 6 months.

  Was it an aspect of Proton that made you switch? Seeing it get mentioned negatively all over this comment section is making me a little concerned.
  - cdurth 3y ago
    eh not really, for me it was the fact it took forever to implement some of the features. I also don't use the address much or any of their other features so was looking for a cheaper solution.

Sorry, what's the news on Proton?

  Four people mentioned proton in this thread without any indication of what happened lol

    Proton accidentally all the emails. [sorry]
    - gia_ferrari 3y ago
      Are you suggesting they had a data loss? Or is this a quip?

    Proton is perfectly fine and as secure as email gets. I would think there is some sort of a FUD campaign going on against them, if I didn’t believe that people are dumb enough to endlessly spout bullshit on topics they know nothing about without external motivation.

      I've noticed that here as well, specifically with Proton. Some sort of cultural quirk I suppose. I'll keep using their service, until I see some more tangible criticism on their security. I've had positive experiences overall. Yes the extra security makes some things harder, like searching. That is a fair tradeoff for me. Only real complaint I have is that Proton Drive is web-only. No supported API, either. We desperately need a Linux CLI and/or sync tool. Edit: I meant a Linux tool. There are windows/mac/ios/android apps. Updated my post.

I too was THIS close to going all-in on Skiff last week, leaving Outlook.com for more privacy, but contact sync with phone was a major annoyance. Thankfully in hindsight.

I will be switching over to Tuta. Their new subscriptions let you setup unlimited aliases if you are using a custom domain. So, I'll be able to keep all my same email addresses and still have strong encryption.
