I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I’m switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren’t accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.
Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won’t send red flags to my more official accounts?
If it helps, I’m US-based.
You do lol. Otherwise you’re just yapping.
I don’t think you know what a fact is.
You’ve failed to prove your points in any meaningful way. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence and all that.
The evidence you failed to provide because in your own words, you “don’t have to”? Lol. Lmao even.
Oh no I compared small email providers. They have all the same limitations as ProtonMail will have. As for selfhosting, you don’t even understand the first thing about email, privacy, or OpSec. Selfhosting is entirely out of the question for someone like you.
I’m still waiting for a legitimate reason. I ask with an open mind every time I see comments like this but the answer is always the same, technological illiteracy and “bad vibes”, your comment included.
Speaking of funny, you read my comment saying how the bots complaining about privacy-forward services like Proton are always a result of ignorance and not understanding how technology or privacy work, and you were like “Hey that’s me, now’s my time to shine” lol
Your deny that Proton uses privacy as a selling feature and you want me to prove it does otherwise I am yapping? Do you know how impossibly dumb you sound.
My point that I think they have shitty marketing practices? You have not even addressed this nor moved the needle in how I see their shitty business practices. My argument is not what you are addressing at all. That is okay, like I said you act like a parody. It is actually funny to see how hard you pander for a corporation. You must REALLY like Proton, lol.
Proton uses privacy as a selling point and they deliver on it by providing you with a private email service.
If you would like to assert that they’ve broken some kind of promise they made to you in regards to privacy, then yes, you have to provide some sort of proof of that claim. If you believe that you don’t, it’s you that appears impossibly dumb I fear.
If you have a point to make about their marketing practices, then make it. If you can’t articulate a single problem you have with Proton then you’re just yapping and can be safely ignored.
I am glad you admit to at least one basic fact. I don’t like how they market to privacy when they do shit like store your credit card meta data on their server.
Other companies have solved this privacy problem but yet this supposed privacy company can’t seem to figure out. I personally believe that because of their marketing they have created quite the honeypot for illicit actors. They know this and they are a little too eager to give up information because of it.
They receive ten of thousands of requests for information every year and this keeps increasing dramatically. They have already transitioned from famous to infamous for the amount of times they have failed their users.
Everytime the excuse is the same. It is the end users fault for not buying our VPN or some other bullshit. The are shitty and you seem to tow the company line like a good little shill.
As I said before, I still believe you might be operating an elaborate parody account. I really can’t believe people are this hard core, it reminds of those defenders of Microsoft or Telsa in years prior.
Security theatre is just that. Proton is just cashing in on the concept of security when they are aware that their own practices along with the industry at large prevents it.

You want to throw money at them to ignore the actual problem at hand, go ahead. Pretending they actually offer security is a lie. It is marketing, a lie. Security is not achieved by giving your hard earned money to a corporation and frankly you should be ashamed for suggesting it.
