    I’d advise against Proton - they’re not good at actually respecting privacy and require a premium subscription to access your email over SMTP (making it much harder to switch away and locking you into their client).

      Email isn’t private. They don’t scan your email for ads which is about all you can ask for

        ??

        They strip all the tracking from the emails. I’ll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.

        How is it not private?

      Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don’t seem to have any complaints.
