Ask HN: Who Is the Best Paid Email Provider? Why?

Proton for me. Privacy is a priority and it’s EU based plus zero knowledge.

Downsides are you need to use proton client or web UI.

The proton suite now also features other useful (and secure) apps like Drive, Password manager, etc. I’m not using those though.

I second the support for Proton. Proton, however, is not EU-based (not that it matters in this context). It's Swiss. Switzerland, like Norway and the UK, is not part of the EU.

Yes, my mistake I was thinking Europe based (but having said that Swiss have stricter privacy laws than EUs GDPR and is a considered adequate for data transfer).

Proton Mail + VPN (for my soon to be built NAS) + cloud storage + Pass for $10/month is very tempting via their whole suite subscription.
