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!


Resource? As far as I know he only said that republicans stood for the little guys. He said this with regards to the previous rep. term before all hell broke in the new one. I bet you there is currently no person in proton who would be pro-republican. The thing is people just like drama too much and social media just echoes the worst in them. Maybe we should move on, I don’t know why people need to constantly return to old dramas. Pick some nice topic for once. Have you maybe praised someone recently? Do that. And if you feel too rigtheous, maybe remember how many times in the past you had a political opinion that didnt age well. I bet you won’t find any person like that.

I don’'t believe in just two party politics. This whole debacle needs to move on. yeah, but I can’t stand people deciding not to go with somebody because they agreed with one statement of a politcal figure (and doubled down).
Yeah, so nothing new, as I said he praised one thing from the past and it was before all hell broke… We all make mistakes, I think we should just move on and not stir old dramas.
Yeah, that tweet aged well 🤦♂️
Yeah Andy is an idiot, even worse the post where he (they) doubled down on it
