Fastmail is a good choice, they just do the one thing.

No end to end encryption. No thanks.

Plus as an Australian company the government can backdoor it without anyone legally being able to speak about it.

They also got rid of most of their US based unionized employees recently.

That’s a plus for some of us - but I’ll stick with Proton.

How would you "end to end encrypt" an email going from Super Secure Provider A to Outlook or Gmail? The encryption stops the millisecond it leaves Provider A's servers.

With Proton Mail you can send password-protected emails too: https://proton.me/support/open-password-protected-emails

Correction: you can send links to a website where the recipient can see the text you wrote using a password.

Nothing about that is "email" anymore. The same method can be used to make "password protected SMS" for example. Just send a link to a website and a password. Encryption!

What we need is actual public key encryption/signing support on mail services, but that's not going to happen ever.
