Ugh, I’ve gotta switch from Gmail, any good email recommendations?
Proton mail is the peak email service money can buy (it’s also avilable for free but i suggest paying)
Thank you for this recommendation, I’ll look into switching. It’s a slow process of moving towards less convenient but more private services but your comment has moved the needle for me at least.
It takes a little bit of effort but it’s a great time to do the following:
In a couple months you’ll eventually stop receiving emails to your gmail as you work through the accounts you use, and most incoming mail will all be through aliases. Then if you get spammed, you know what site leaked your email + you can turn off the alias and not get spam.
Wait wait! You’re saying proton lets you use aliases? As many as I’d like?
I guess Gmail does too, if you do the ole [email protected]. But not all websites allow the +
Proton integrates directly with simplelogin. But you can use gmail for aliases with anonaddy or simplelogin, they just forward the alias emails to your real inbox.
What are you talking about ? If anything proton is more convenient.
I think part of convenience is name brand recognition. I don’t know how you took a heartfelt compliment and made it hostile, but the reality is I grew up knowing what Google was and using it as a verb. Gmail was an obvious and convenient tool to pickup.
I just found out about Protonmail, or at least heard of it for the first time that it broke the barrier of not-caring into carrying. I imagine user numbers reflect that pretty readily.
That’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying Protonmail is worse in anyway, please don’t assume I am. It’s okay to like a product and admit it’s flaws, in this case the only flaw I’m suggesting it has is being less known than Gmail and even then only for me and my small corner of the world.
Bruh i thought you were thinking proton mail maybe inconveniant to use that’s why i corrected you . Sorry if i sounded hostile the problem is whenever people think of privacy they think like its for the paranoid ones and must be tough. I just wanted to clear it up for you.
If you work for Proton then username checks out haha. Real talk I’ve been on the unlimited for a bit and it’s dope.
Fastmail is fantastic.
Yeah it’s amazing. You have to pay, but at least you’re not the product 👏
Agreed, it’s so good.
I love their app… it’s replaced the default iOS app for me it’s so good.
It feels like everyone hates Apple, but their hide my email service is bundled into their family plan, and it’s real nice just being able to give every site an email address you can then just delete if they spam you.
No one knows who I really am, and I’m good with that.
I guess my recommendation is to find a service that lets you make throwaway emails.
And I think Proton does that. Mozilla has a service for that, but their new CEO has thrown some question marks into that mix. There are definitely others.
duckduckgo does that with @duck.com email addresses too, I’ve liked using them so far
Get your own website and you too can have infinitely emails
