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.
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 a marketing lie. Security is not achieved by giving your hard earned money to a corporation and frankly you should be ashamed for suggesting it.
Did they market to not storing metadata? Of course not, they can’t lol. Neither can any of the other privacy focus email providers lol.
Have they though? Do you have any proof of this? If they’re taking credit card information, they are required to keep the same metadata. Not doing so would stop them from being able to process credit cards at all. You don’t know the first thing about the payment industry clearly lol.
They have not. I can’t find one verifiable instance where they failed their users.
They deliver on privacy and security in every way they feasibly can, and in fact all the ways they advertise. Do you have any proof to the contrary? You still have provided none.
Are you at any point going to provide an example of this so-called security theater, or any way that they’ve broken any promises, or failed their users? Or are you just going to keep yapping in a circle about nothing without providing any proof?
