I run https://port87.com/
It’s not end to end encrypted like Proton, but it has features that help you stay private online, like everywhere you sign up with gets a different email address, so they can’t track you by address.
Just giving another option. :)
Yeah, that does work, but then you have to manage all of the filters yourself, and some places don’t accept a + in an email.
I wrote an article that talks about that here:

Yep! I have ADHD and it’s the only organization method that’s ever worked for me. I wrote an article about it:

For business email, you would use your own domain name, so it wouldn’t be an @port87.com address.
Yeah, unfortunately Google and Microsoft basically have the power to kill any smaller email provider this way just by claiming they’re “spammy”. It’s a duopoly and probably should be investigated under antitrust laws.
It’s in California, and that’s where the data is stored. It’s not stored with end to end encryption, so I understand your worry, and unfortunately Port87 wouldn’t be a good choice for your needs if that’s not acceptable.
In the future I might make the system work with locally hosted databases, so you would still use my SMTP servers, but everything else would be locally hosted. That’s probably a while in the future though. I have some priorities before exploring that option.
I own and operate https://port87.com/, and in no way am I even close to right wing. I don’t call myself a liberal, and get offended when people do, because I’m a leftist.
It’s not ready for business email yet, but it’ll work for your personal email.
Simple solution: buy a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.
