ProtonMail Is Inherently Insecure, Your Emails Are Likely Compromised (2021)

Re:ProtonMail Is Inherently Insecure, Your Emails Are Likely... by n0ot on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @05:45PM (#30353903)

I use ProtonMail because I want to use an email address at my own domain. It's actually an inconvenience though, because their IOS app does not let me compose a message with VoiceOver, and when I reached out to them, they basically told me that they're not implementing features until they do their UI redesign. Most of the time, I compose messages in a desktop browser, but the few times I've needed to do so from my phone has required me to open Safari and do it from there, which was a pain.

I'm not looking for military grade encryption in a subterrainian mountain; I just want email at my domain from a service that doesn't read all of my emails and profile me based on their contents. I've looked into hosting my own email from a VPS, but it's not a trivial project, and I'm most worried about being blacklisted before I even start, since it seems most VPS providers are.

Any recommendations?

Might want to try Tutanota or Fastmail. I've heard good things about them but never tried either. I'm currently on protonmail and I am also getting frustrated by their glacial rate of change for reported bugs and quality of life improvements. Also their calendar is one of the worst calendars I have ever used so need to use another service for that anyway.
