Which e-mail service should I use?
(lemmy.ml)
I'm surprised no one's posted about Skiff.
+1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.
Do they provide SMTP? So that I can use it in a Wordpress instance?
No SMTP or IMAP as it's an E2EE service and unlike Proton they don't (yet anyway) have a "bridge" service. You get to use your own domain, a handful of aliases, and a generous amount of storage all on the free plan with higher limits on the paid plans.
Anyone looking for standard mail protocol support and gobs of storage for free/cheap and who are cool with a very non-sexy 90s web UI, would do well to check out the European provider mail.ee . They've been reliable for me over the past year or so though I'm not exactly a high-volume customer.
I totally recommend tutanota. I use the free.
Can I ask how you deal with it? Free tutanota lacks even the most basic features i.e. offline mode/search. I switched to proton after a month, it was infuriating
I just use it for ordering stuff and for registering to newsletters. It's fine, but yeah sometimes you want to find older emails and it's a pain in the ass to do that, because of the search function.
you can also have your own domain name in protonmail.
Same with Totanota
Proton, Tutonota, or Disroot
Disroot appears to be the most prominent non-profit email provider out there.
I switched to disroot and am so far super happy with it. especially because it comes with a lot of nice features like file transfer and cloud storage. its also free.
I'm considering moving to disroot as well.
its also free.
That it is, but please consider donating as it's also non-profit :)
is Apple iCloud Mail good to use?
Answering a question with a question 😂
I've been using Fastmail for almost a decade now, and extremely satisfied by the service, privacy, features and price.
If you're interested in signing up for it, I have a referral link (the above one isn't it, I'm not that shady) you can use for a 10% discount on your first year.
Good luck with the search.
I really enjoy https://mailbox.org, their custom software can be… esoteric at times, but the company and privacy commitments are top notch, and it has PGP built throughout natively, including an option to automatically PGP encrypt all plaintext emails you receive. I joined it originally as a cheaper alternative to Protonmail but these days I really prefer it.
Also, you can give it out email aliases for work or to other people without giving away that you're actually a conspiracy nut and privacy enjoyer. Much better when it's @mailbox rather than @tutanota or @protonmail
Or you can also not care what other people think. I think proton.me sounds pretty cool. I'm a physicist too so it kinda makes sense. Tutanota allows quite a few short domains; tuta.io sounds a bit funny but it's short enough to not be strange.
When I am forced to give my email for electronic receipts in shops though...it's a full on {shop_name}@handle.anonaddy.me. No issues or weird looks so far.
