Hi guys!

I’m looking for a Proton alternative. So far I’ve seen these two recommended. I was wondering what are the pros/cons of each? Seems Tutanota offers more bang for the buck in mailbox size etc, but I’m not sure. I’d also like to have a better integration with Android, because Proton’s email/calendar apps suck big time.

Thanks!

Take a look into Posteo if having a custom domain is something you can live without.

Posteo

Wow…This one seems to be a very good one as well. How come it’s not even mentioned in privacytools.io or privacyguides.org?

Not sure.

It’s not as popular, but i use it with my own PGP keys & Thunderbird and it’s great!

You also get SMTP with posteo, if that is important to you.

With that you mean it’s standard access IMAP/SMTP from any client you want, as opposed to Proton/Tutanota and their custom apps right? Yeah, I prefer a standard protocol and my own app.

Yes. You can get it with proton too, but you need your own domain for that iirc.
