I like K-9 (soon to be Thunderbird)
Change to protonmail and move away from google altogether.
I’m slowly beginning the process of moving to Proton Mail. Staying with the free account for now, but really want to get away from Gmail.
Same, for this reason.
Or Fastmail
Exactly, I don't trust a free email service 😂
Absolutely proprietary!
Or maybe choose something that isn't such a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yeah, they have more than five users, they must be hiding something. It's only logical.
Which are you claiming to be the wolf? It was just a little bit ambiguous for me.
Proton Mail is not a service that can be trusted and it is fairly expensive
Why can't it be trusted? Can any service be trusted? I'm not going to host my own email service. 💀
They promote proprietary software in the form of JavaScript and they claim encryption and 100% privacy for a protocol that isn't secure or designed to be secure.
What does this claim look like? I mean, I'll bite if all they claim is that they offer 100 % privacy from their end, so they don't do anything with my data. That's good enough for me.
And promoting proprietary software in the form of JavaScript, is that an inherently bad thing apart from being proprietary?
Just curious because you seem rather emphatic about this so I'd like to know more about your thoughts, since I am a potential customer.
That's an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?
Gmail works with it.
But Gmail could technically pump the same ads over IMAP if they wanted to.
Technically it's not the same, in case of IMAP they would need to literally put spam mails into your account. As opposed to having visual elements in the UI that pretend to be an email. Might not feel like a big difference but actively poisoning the users inbox is pretty bad.
Yeah, while technically possible, I don't see that happening for the exact reason you said. 👍
Mailbox.org is pretty nice, I've been using it since a few months now, because it's compatible with basically all email clients (unlike protonmail) and they have a very cheap plan too.
Using it for almost 3 years now, it's great. Together with K9-Mail ofc!
Thanks for sharing, I am seriously considering it. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase to myself. I kinda worry that I am just acting on a somewhat emotional fear of being watched.
Understandable, just give the decision some time and you'll know what's best.
