Sorry but no. Proton is a company, a little one respect of Alphabet but still a company, so they share the core model: making money selling something. Change from a company to another is not a solution. I agree to have private emails but since it's next to impossible avoid ending in spam folders on all giants mail provider we can only: - own a personal domain - attach it to some local mail service who offer STANDARD IMPSS/SMTPS without specific constraints - keep their own mails on their own iron (OfflineIMAP, mbsync, fetchmail, ...) POSSIBLY not leaving them on the vendor servers but downloading to a homeserver and if a webmail is needed host one on it attached to a personal subdomain like mail.mydomain.tld - the third parties service act just as relays, since almost all mails will be sent to the big there is no more privacy practically possible, your correspondent will not use GNUPG and local client on FLOSS system for privacy We need to AVOID as much as possible someone else computer, so no, not "encrypted cloud storage" but personal backups, even one in a bank safe-deposit box where a quake of a flood are unlikely to destroy their building, one at a secondary home if you own one or some, one to some relatives and friends sent by mail and so on, of course encrypted but still your iron somewhere, physically reachable to you. Calendars should be local personal Agenda's like org-agenda, we can just send/read .ics invites if needed. It's a good thing offer some VoIP options to your friends, there it's complicated since FLOSS on that subject is in a very terrible shape with old glory monsters for giant deploys not for personal usage, fragile and complex modern solution tied to some client, often not much easier to deploy and veeeeery limited documentation. But we have something. We have little options for desktop sharing (RustDesk, with hbbs/hbbr self-hosted, MeshCentral for most common usages) but something is still here. We need to OWN the infra. BTW Swiss have hosted for decades some privacy-centric companies then revealed as CIA proxy so well, being in Swiss does not automatically offer any guarantee.
