I expect I will move to a premium account later when I use up my free allocated storage. I have been trialling Protonmail (free) for several months and find it excellent. Mailfence has a very simple sign up process. Proton appears to be the most popular with those concerned with Google seeing everything you do. Mailfence has several additional services bundles inĮFF has this new campaign about email privacy and might help you checking how secure the provider is. Tutanota now has a desk app and also comes along with an encrypted calendar ProtonMail is free and they also give you limited VPN

I do all that at the browser webmail level, plus all my housekeeping (spam/folder designation et al) online first, and then use the desktop/mobile apps (W10 Mail/Android Outlook and Gmail) for viewing afterwards as needed. Minimal intervention required at my end.Īdvantages are that if any account gets compromised ( ) you have alternatives already in use, and if any cloud provider has a major outage (they all do at some point, sometimes weekly) then by setting up IMAP/POP mirrors/aggregators across different providers you can minimise access issues.

It sounds a complicated PITA but is actually really easy to run once it's all set up. I've got my own domain email (Fasthosts), several Gmail (+ a domain linked alias), (+ domain link and other aliases) addresses and a free encrypted Protonmail account (500MB free limit, for all the sensitive bank/utilities correspondance et al) How about keeping BT and running it in parallel with another email address (or several) for different purposes?
