Does anyone recommend Proton Mail? I want to move away from gmail if possible.

Got a reply from #protonMail "We do use LLM to generate some code, however, all code is still thoroughly tested and reviewed for security." Not really comforting given that the big LLMs are so opposed to their basic values! And letting a chatbot scrape your files opens a giant attack surface.

#Keet for messaging, #ProtonMail, #GrayJay for streaming, #filen_io for cloud backup, #Obsidian for notes, Organic Maps
...and the ultimate degoogling will be #PostmarketOS

@nicolasvivant juste pour mon information personnelle... #protonmail est à mettre au même niveau que l'hébergement aux US ?
Je sais que le ceo de Proton a eu quelques mots surprenants/malheureux concernant #trump et #maga tout en rétropédalant largement par la suite. Pour le reste, la plate-forme semble tenir la route en termes de sécurité/ confidentialité.
(Je dis ça parce que je suis en train d'évaluer leurs services...)
Merci
So:
I'm going to China again in September (the last time was Feb 2020 and boy, that was a trip, I was masking before it was popular).
I quite like being online. I also am currently in the google ecosystem.
I notice that Protonmail has a good reputation and seems to offer similar services.
Now is your choice, fedizens, to tell me why they're a terrible company and not to be trusted.

Dites, c'est quoi le fournisseur de #mail qu'il faut utiliser pour se créer une nouvelle adresse en 2025 ? Ce serait pour un usage basique de mail partagé, pas besoin de grand-chose.
J'avais un #Protonmail, mais leurs dernières positions politiques m'inquiètent un peu. J'ai vu l'alternative #Tutanota, mais le fait qu'il n'y ait pas d'IMAP me refroidit un peu, je n'ai pas envie d'installer encore une appli de plus pour consulter mes mails.
Merci pour vos conseils !
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.

@deirdrebeth @Matt_the_bad_writer If you're interested in user opinions: I've been using #ProtonMail for a couple years, ish, and it works reasonably well for the most part, but a lot of UI actions feel a bit slow (probably necessary to some extent because of the E2E encryption), and there are some, like swipe-to-archive, that behave in unusual ways. But my main gripes are:
- Filtering is *painfully* slow. Any change to filters takes on the order of an hour to take effect.
- Proton vastly restricts the ability to use different email addresses at a custom domain. I can set up a catch-all address to receive anything sent to my domain, but sending mail from any new address requires a settings change, and I'm limited to 16 active sending addresses.
There was also a thing some months ago about some inappropriate political statements made by Proton's CEO, and the company has never tried to distance itself from that AFAIK.
So I'm not exactly displeased with Proton, but I'm keeping my eyes open for alternatives.
Searching #ProtonMail right here will get you lots of threads with folks talking about it. Overall it seems positive, but I haven't done a deep dive as I use Tigertech.net 
Proton’s summer 2025 roadmap covers upcoming updates for Mail, Calendar, Pass, and Drive. 
Notably, they confirmed work on a Linux Proton Drive app, supported by a soon-to-be-published SDK—boosting native Linux support.

We use #ProtonMail at home. We could add them to our family plan … but I worry their endless email attachments would bust our 6TB limit. And I’m not sure how it would solve the remote tech support problem.
Valide alternative a #gmail sono #protonmail e #infomaniak.
Al posto di #microsoft #office c’è #onlyoffice
Ci sono alternative per tutto, se le trovate, condividetele!
Siate Europei!

Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.
Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!
I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!
It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!
Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!

Was thinking of looking into Proton. But then remembered the owners pro MAGA talk. Don't want to change from a capitalist fascist supporting company to a smaller capitalist fascist supporting company. Or I'm I to harsh?
Any recommendations for #privacy focused #email providers that will work with a local email client. I currently have #protonmail but I cannot install #protonbridge to use with my local email client. Any other recommendations?

Wtf @proton.me? This is a fucking #GENOCIDE being commited by russian citizens, not just "a conflict in Ukraine"! And by failing to condemn it and calling it "a conflict" you are supporting it
