I moved from proton to mailbox.org recently. It was either that or Tuta but i decided to go with mailbox since I can use Thunderbird with it. I just read some concernign shit about proton it feels like a straight up CIA/Israel honeypot, and while both Tuta and mailbox are hosted in a 12 eyes country im not actually doing illegal shit so I dont need that kind of protection. But it does feel safer to store my shit with a private german provider than with some US megacorp or some CIA/Israel honeypot

The entire history of Proton is perhaps the best example of enshittification of all time, second only to uTorrent after 2.2.1. The only reason I suffer through it is because it's still the lowest effort method of having multiple email addresses that don't get filtered.
>>
>>108796429
No. It’s not even about privacy. If google bans you because you made one mistake, honest or not, you’re fucked. You should at least hedge your bets and keep a Gmail, an outlook, and something else and use them for different things.

my good sir, have you heard of "Fastmail"? it's like 5 bucks per month and it allows you to create unlimited amounts of emails (with a bunch of different domains. It was recommended by that "IntelTechniques" podcast (privacy and OSINT type shit)

i have probably created 50+ email aliases and all of them have worked, not filtered, not blocked (i create new email for each service/website). And now i looked in the FAQ of Fastmail. They say you can create 600 email aliases holy shit.

Also makes it really easy to see which website starts selling your email to spam companies, or which service seems to have been hacked, and if that happens just disable the alias and poof, no more spams

it's not really a proton-like service though, but it's private and secure (dont think it's end-to-end encrypted but could be wrong). But it even allows hardware security keys like Yubikey. Proton also allows it but you're forced to have TOTP enabled aswell (the 6 numbers that keep changing and you have an app that refreshes the numbers every 30 seconds). The problem with Proton here though, is that you can choose during login, so you can just click TOTP instead of hardware security key, which makes it kind of pointless.

I'll probably look like a sales rep for this service, but i'm not.
>>
>>108796969
>>get this, meaning they scanned AND intercepted your email (they won't show you it either)
No, all it means is they knew an email came to your brand new account and they want you to verify before releasing it to you. Are your ipad kids really this brain dead? Do you understand how email systems work? They don't just magically appear on your local computer. Of course proton can see that you're receiving AN email from an outside provider that is NOT from proton itself. How fucking braindead are you? You don't need to scan the contents of an email to know this.
>>
>>108796126
Daily no one fucking cares you shithead pedophile. Stop being a pedophile you fucking maggot.

>>108796155
Proton doesn't read your shit, but they will cooperate with LEOs. All the people who got busted did so not because of the content of their emails but because of how they accessed them. Note that EVERY SINGLE TIME one of these threads gets shat out on /g/, it's always the dipshit retarded faggot ops misinterpreting what actually happened.
The service is fine, and FUCKING RETARD PEDOPHILES WHO WANT TO TRADE PICTURES OF KIDS GETTING ABUSED are seething because literally any tech company will cooperate with court orders when child rape is involved.
>>
>>108797316
>. Are your ipad kids really this brain dead? Do you understand how email systems work?
This 1000%. The majority of ""anons"" on /g/ have absolutely no conception of how computers or technology work, let alone email RFCs in particular. They are iphone babies, they do what the pocket screen tells them, they aren't aware that there is anything else going on under hood. Anything that goes wrong must be a "betrayal" of the software or service, not their own clueless stupidity.
>>
>>108797266
I've been screwed so many times by email services that I'm no longer curious about alternatives, since the truly private ones either sell out or get raped and gaped by the US intelligence community ala Lavabit. I've lost access to a few accounts forever because OpenMailbox just went belly-up, and even when it was alive and usable I had to deal with people not getting my emails because some faggot ass corpo mail server ignored emails not from Gmail or Hotmail/Outlook.
I'd maybe check it out purely out of boredom but at this point I dislike the idea of paying for a service when I half-expect it to fuck me over later on.
Email as a decentralized system is dead. Ordinarily I would laugh since it was always kind of a bad and insanely insecure protocol by design, but the way it died still disgusts me.

Why is any of this a surprise? Emails are still sent cleartext by default and it's only when PGP/CSE is setup properly that 3rd party services are unable to read the contents of an email (headers are still cleartext because how else are they going to get routed properly?). If you think that TLS "encryption" matters in anyway, just ask yourself if you established a certificate with the other party before receiving an email. If you're going to be autistically paranoid about email security then setup your own MX record that points to a self-hosted James instance.

If I were to change now I'd go with posteo, it seems like their privacy policy is the best of the 3 since they don't log IP at account creation. With Tuta you're locked into their apps, with mailbox you can use classic email tools like Thunderbird etc

You realize that all email is transmitted in plaintext, right? Even if you "encrypt" your email, it only applies to the body. Gpg the shit out of your email, but the subject, sender, receiver is still known to everyone including any intermediary handling the network traffic.

Guess what's easy to determine from the sender + subject: email registrations.

Proton has to scan the fucking thing for any spam filtering to work.

You confirm the other posters' points. Zoomers can't into critical thinking.
>>
Why can't we just self-host emails again?
>>
>>108796126
I had exactly the same experience, which was funny because several days had passed between sign up and (not) receiving the first mail. I don't mind them reading emails, but the fact that they wait for you to receive (not even send) the first email before they ask for a phone number is somehow more offensive than asking for it straight away like gmail and everyone else does.

If that's the case why worry about Proton? But I get what you're saying. The #1 reason to worry about "I'm not doing anything illegal" is because these countries do not care what jurisdiction you're in, they're still training an AI on your data to spy on you and link it back to any activity you do online. Even here. And they do not care if you made a post on 4chan but use protonmail, they'll extradite you all the same.
>>
>>108802263
>How practical is running your own email server these days?

Easier than ever.
Biggest problem is that you still encounter the same issues if you host your server unless you're in someplace like Iceland. Email that is sent is not secure. That's why holding everything as drafts was a CIA tactic for years.
>>
>>108802569
Huh, I use runbox and it seems pretty good for signups and auths.

I admit I don't use Fastmail but I just assumed it would work because it's at least as big as runbox.

They generally have a better standard of law against mass surveillance and have not, in the past, done mass raids over email services, they also are not beholden to EU regulation over decryption and storing-and-holding.
>>
>>108802629
>is that the kraut one that bends over for the bundespolizi anytime someone calls someone a kike?
That's the one!
Again there is no harm in using it for 4chan emails since it's not like /pol/ is going to be sending you daily shoah emails to it. For everything else, if you can't self-host I don't see a downside to something like fastmail or runbox.
>>
>>108802629
Also their signup standard is literally just agreeing to "I have not made a free email in the past" and that's it. No PI required (as of yet). You can also just ignore it and make free emails anyway, as long as you don't use it to spam.
>>
>>108802660
getting 1 signup email is not "using it to spam"

>>108802651
yeah, but they're double likely to be raided because krauts are megacucks (one got arrested for calling a politician a dick on twitter)

For those who don't understand what OP is talking about. If your IP is from a shitlisted range (which can happen even if you're not on mobile), you'll have to do this to post. Protonmail is one of the few choices. Turns out it baits you into thinking you won't be required to give it your phone, but as soon as the first mail arrives, it prevents you from reading it until you do.
>>
>>108802694
>If your IP is from a shitlisted range (which can happen even if you're not on mobile),
it's not actually an IP ban though, it's a fake rangeban for low "trust score"
works absolutely fine on firefox but not on chromium, both with no cookies
>>
>>108802694
>but as soon as the first mail arrives, it prevents you from reading it until you do.
even worse, it never shows you the first email. it's gone forever, sent to /dev/null.

>>108797381
I'm not really part of that scene, but I regularly visit German IT news sites, and honestly the people who comment there are way more radical about privacy than almost anything you read on 4chan. Even though we don't have any big IT companies, we seem to have a strong sense of IT ethics.

Okay but if you only use a signup burner for verifications, what do they get? Your 4chan verification emails. Which are pretty pointless.

>>108802694
One thing I didn't notice is yahoo is on here. If you don't want to give pictures of your butthole to the feds, yahoo signups don't require PI at all. I don't even think they require a phone number.
