I think I know the answer, bit maybe I’m missing something
Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?
Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I’ve gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one
Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine
Sorry for the poor syntax. I’m at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later
IMAP + GPG
Right. So back to gmail?
No private registration or payment.
Sorry. I don’t understand
Tuta has no IMAP, vendor lock-in, bad.
Proton has IMAP with extra steps, almost vendor lock-in, bad.
Gmail has IMAP, good. So, we can use it with our own libre app, with GPG, but first we need an account.
Making a new Gmail account is not private. Also, paying for paid Gmail is not private.

what about cock.li or disroot, if you don’t like getting blackholed?
Good points.
POP is better than IMAP, the emails get deleted from the servers.
IMAP can delete too. When it’s not your server, there’s no proof it’s actually deleted. So, use GPG.
yeah, just that I like the protocol design better. also GPG isn’t that great, so maybe sending files encrypted with ssh or age(or lxmf uri messages)
