So my #Fastmail sub is due for renewal RSN and so I'm looking for a replacement.
#ProtonMail is often suggested but the pricing (for multiple domains) feels prohibitive to me.
Is there another not-terrible option closer to Fastmails $8ish per month rather than Protons $16ish per month?
I do require support for at least two domains.
Last week, the long-awaited new generation #ProtonMail apps were released for #Android and #iOS! They are faster and with new features (see https://proton.me/blog/new-mail-apps for details).
Especially interesting for me is the use of #Rust: about 80% of the code is shared between the platforms now. This is thanks to #UniFFI allowing us to write native Swift/Kotlin code on top of a solid Rust core.
Proton Mail Falls Under U.S. Jurisdiction
If you read their Terms of Service, at first glance, they reference the laws of Switzerland. However, because they now have offices in the United States — along with registrations, trademarks, copyrights, and patents in the U.S. — they also cite U.S. laws. The only two countries you'll see mentioned are Switzerland and the United States — nothing else.
Their CEO has, on several occasions, also praised Donald Trump. Additionally, Proton left the Fediverse because they couldn’t silence users there as they have on platforms like Facebook or Reddit. The fact that they’re now trying to silence journalists doesn’t surprise me.
There are better alternatives to Proton Mail.

Not thrilled to see an email from #ProtonMail about their new #AI service. Please tell me that you're not going to follow suit @Tutanota.

It's amazing to see that #DeGoogling is possible. 😎🙌

...and the ultimate degoogling will be #PostmarketOS
Buried in Proton's AI announcement today is a pretty shocking detail about their service 👀
Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.
