Even if not, you’re potentially targeted for even being there, and they have a bad track record.\n\nTutanota\nPros: Better track record than Protonmail\nCons: Bans Tor and many VPNs.  Severe Browser fingerprinting annoyance when signing up.  They auto-delete your account if you don’t login for 6 months, but you can get around this by adding 2-factor authentication TOTP with KeePass XC\n\nSkiff\nPro: Fast sign-ups, very easy to get a burner account\nCon: They use Cloudflare.  Cloudflare intercepts all traffic, so 0% private.  This company is essentially propaganda.\n\nMail in a Box (software)\nThis is self-hosting using open source software on a VPS\nPro: More private than any provider.  It does most of the setup work for you\nCon: Requires $5 to 15 a month on a VPS (but can be split among friends).  VPS provider can still access emails by snapshots of memory.  Unless you put it in a docker container, you can’t do anything else on the VPS\n\nLuke Smith Scripts (software)\nPro: Fast way to get an email VPS setup\nCon: Requires it to be put directly on the server, which can mess up OTHER things you got going on there, like using aaPanel\n\naaPanel (software)\nPro: Easy to manage a lot of services going on, including WordPress or databases with your email\nCon: Not worth setting up this whole thing up for JUST email.\n\nFollow on Nostr for more!"}
