Well, I was contemplating Protonmail...

I'm in the process of degoogling and dewindowing. I'll be dammed if I'm going towards ANYthing even related to"artificial intelligence" if I can help it.

Feckin bullshit.

I'll mention I went to Fastmail (mainly because they're an Aus company as well as the privacy stuff), so far so good.

Yeah I saw that, pretty shitty. I also didn't even realise they had a US division, given how they tout themselves as an Australian company.
