A while ago, when one of the Proton CEOs made some questionable statements, I terminated my Proton subscription. I liked Proton, having all the services I need in one place was nice and I wasn’t sure whether I’d actually leave and had a year already paid left.

I thought about at least leaving my mail there, but 4-5€ / month just for mail isn’t worth it in my opinion. And I’m very pissed that mail-forwarding and IMAP are premium features, something I probably should’ve found out way earlier. They want to lock me in, which is a dealbreaker for me.

So with that in mind, does someone know a fitting alternative? I’d of course still prefer a privacy-focused service and would be fine paying <= 2€.

€: Bonuspoints if there are no “special discounts” (discounts for commiting to a longer subscription are fine, what i mean is special deals for new customers or black friday deals, stuff like that)

€€: Going to give mailbox a shot, thanks everyone!

    I’m using Tuta and didn’t even realize I couldn’t use Thunderbird if I wanted. I don’t currently want to but overlooked the fact it wasn’t an option.

    I’m currently most disappointed with their email rules and calendar reminders. Can only create rules to send email to folders or trash - can’t forward or assign labels - and even more bizarre… can’t disable notifications on email your rules are handling. If I send some email to the trash automatically I still get an email notification. And calendar reminders have preset values - various min and hour options - but you can’t customize them. Glad I left Gmail but I miss some of its functionality.
