Privacy/encryption is a top priority

Large Gmail archive needs migrating over. If possible, I’d need to receive emails sent to my Gmail account (even if I can’t answer them from that Google email adress).

I recently switched from Gmail to Proton but I’m already looking to switch again.

I just want a mailbox that’s safe and nice. Much like Ente really. I tried Tuta because they are “friends” but I only saw negative feedback…

EDIT: I choose mailbox.org!

    They’ve supported Trump, someone told me. I don’t have an article to link, sorry.

      They don’t support Rump.
      During his first term, Protons president said one specific thing Rump did isn’t automatically terrible for everyone, it may help Proton and other small online providers. And he was right at the time. That’s as close as anyone at Proton ever got to saying anything nice about Rump.

      Proton realy is the best you’ll find out there. None of the others are very close yet.

        That’s untrue: they said far more. It’s really strange to me how Proton defenders never show you their official statement. Here is one (emphasis mine):

        Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:

        Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.

        Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

        At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

        By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.

        Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

        Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

        It’s so weird how any time someone mentions Signal, Proton, or other convenient privacy-focused alternatives to big tech someone on Lemmy will magically appear to say “No, don’t!”

          That’s because on competing platforms like Reddit, this criticism is censored while the latest Proton company line (from their official accounts) is given preference.

          If you want to see some real AstroTurf in action, check out the official Proton deferral to a completely anonymous and poorly written Medium post.

          I think some people want the idea of a service that’s absolutely perfect, and anything with any flaw is just as bad as the actual bad thing. The likes of Signal and Proton aren’t perfect, but they’re so much better than the big tech defaults that the only ones benefiting from people shitting on them are the corpos we’re trying to get away from!

          More power to you if you can get all your friends to switch to the optimal self-hosted FOSS solution, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

      No need to apologize! Of course I will believe you, an anonymous internet account discouraging use of a well-audited privacy service.

        Nowhere have I discouraged you or anyone from using it, I simply answered a question.
