@lemmy.mlI would also do that but sadly I do not have any spare phone and my phone has no sd card slot
This blog compare them all regarding privacy: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/email
Using your own domain name is the most important as it allows you to change provider if they ever make a change you do not like or go bankrupt. In this regard, I think that the best is posteo or a smaller provider you know near your place (https://www.chatons.org/en).
Thank you. It is good to know that webcam is not important when picking a laptop for work. I will look at external ones.
Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us
The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.
Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications
Ok, let's talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.
The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.
There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)
We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.
So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.
Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?
It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.
But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.
Edit: changed the link for the alternative piped link suggested.
