I went through this journey looking for new providers recently after Proton started doing crypto shit. Tuta and Fastmail were the main recommendations, though the former has been accused of being a honeypot and the latter has really awful practices toward workers and unionisation.
I went with Migadu as a no-nonsense solution, and I'm over the moon with it.
As a big fan of decentralisation and federation, I was very tempted to try out Disroot, but I wasn't ready to try it out with my main mailboxes. I'll likely use it for any upcoming toy projects I embark on though.
I dont think it matters if an email service is a honeypot because if you want E2EE communication then use Signal, not email. And if you are sending emails to other email providers then there's probably not E2EE and it's unecessary to be a honeypot because the metadata can be collected anyway very easily. Almost all data passes through Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Cloudflare.
Why did Proton adding a Bitcoin wallet cause you to look elsewhere? If it's a product you're not interested in, just don't use it. Otherwise you're stuck using providers that offer exactly what you want, no more and no less, which seems like such a narrow needle to thread, you'll never find something or can't stick with it for long.
Has any more evidence ever been produced to show Tuta is a honeypot? The guy who made the original claim is in jail for 14 years for passing on secrets while he was director of RCMP intelligence.
Thank you for introducing me to these, they look great.
+1 for Migadu
