Looking to leave GMAIL and am currently testing Proton for a $1 a month. So far it’s pretty good and the issue I have is not with Proton, but with who I’m sending messages to. If I send an email to a gmail account my information is still sitting on a Google server. So is Proton worth it? Is something like Fastmail just as good over all due to how email works? With Fastmail I can get email for my whole family for $14 a month. I won’t have the VPN, ProtonPASS and other Proton apps, but are they worth the $12 a month for one person?
If you are concerned about your information getting on a Google server when you send an Email to a Gmail account, is the issue still the same no matter what provider you use? Or am I misunderatanding? You are still to a Gmail address no?
No you’re understanding me. It’s impossible to avoid Google as over almost everyone uses them. My thought really is if it’s worth even trying. I can use a better service, but Google will still get my emails as most of my circle uses Google.
Do you know what personal info gets landed on their server when you send an Email to a Gmail account? Presumably Email address and name, but is there much more, hidden stuff?
I never actually thought about it from this angle. Moreso about how much they have access to by having a Google account, but not the exposure if yiu Email someone on their servers.
