India’s court just ordered a nationwide block of Proton Mail—because it wouldn’t hand over user data.
Encrypted email isn’t the problem. Censorship is.
This is a massive overreach against privacy and digital rights.

These are the reasons why I use #ProtonMail - messages like these show up at the top when you're viewing an email #privacy #security

@tommi @ismondo @EvanHahn
Agreeing with the last two points (only). This is why I have a second email, which supports 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗣𝗚𝗣 𝗸𝗲𝘆 and is 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲: 𝕍𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕝𝕕𝕚 𝕎𝕖𝕓𝕞𝕒𝕚𝕝. But you need a Vivaldi account and to gain some reputation with it, to prove that you are not a spammer/hacker etc.
Ah, and not to forget, it is 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹, the most powerful one I know so far (this doesn't mean there isn't a better one).

I am moving away from #ProtonMail and my main reservation about switching to another provider is that when I don’t use end-to-end encryption (e2ee) my emails would be stored unencrypted in its server, whereas Proton Mail stores all emails with no-access encryption.

I really don’t want sensitive emails that I receive without PGP encryption (medical info, personal government communications…) to be stored without any sort of server-side encryption.

So I’m wondering if it exist some tool that encrypts emails saved in a mailserver even when they are not end-to-end encrypted. Something like @cryptomator, but for emails.

Thoughts? Tips?

(@thunderbird is the main client I would be using)

Edit: someone suggested Posteo, but I have to use my own custom domain, and Posteo does not allow it.

Hat jemand von euch schon Erfahrungen mit dem Umzug seiner Mails auf Proton gesammelt? Hat der Transfer reibungslos funktioniert? Ich überlege gerade zu wechseln und wäre Dankbar über Erfahrungsberichte. #unplugtrump #protonmail #datenschutz

@tugatech Proton Mail com domínio personalizado, nada melhor.

So, #protonmail and #protoncalendar are kind of garbage. Anyone have any workarounds?

So, it seems @protonprivacy is down...

What a shame they won't even see this post, since they've left #Mastodon to "consolidate" their social media presence.

Bonjour tout le monde!
Alors, je viens de tester proton mail, l'offre gratuite, pendant 2 jours et je suis déjà extrêmement déçu!
Que cela soit limité à 500 mio, passe encore, mais que pour avoir un accès POP3 ou IMAP, il faille payer, alors là, cela me dépasse.
Donc, est-ce que vous auriez un service qui fournisse une boite mail, accès IMAP et SMTP inclus, à me conseiller et qui soit gratuit...? Un C.H.A.T.O.N?
Merci d'avance à vous et le repouet rend la boite mail sans spam!

@Tutanota Oh, #Protonmail had it from when I created an account on it one year ago...

Non, #Google ne proposera pas un vrai #chiffrement de bout en bout sur #Gmail. Le mécanisme proposé n'est pas considéré comme un véritable chiffrement "E2EE" par certains experts. En effet, il implique un serveur de gestion de clés interne à l'entreprise.

Mieux vaut utiliser soit #protonmail soit #thunderbird avec #gpg et une adresse mail chez un hébergeur non #gafam respectant les #donneespersonnelles

Non, Google ne proposera pas un vrai chiffrement de bout en bout sur Gmail

En début de semaine, Google annonçait vouloir simplifier…

#Gmail Is Not a Secure Way to Send Sensitive Comms: A Friendly Reminder. New end-to-end Gmail #encryption alone isn't secure enough for an enterprise's most sensitive and prized data, experts say.

So, why continuing to use that crap ? Juste use free and secured other solutions (for example, #protonmail )

officially switched off my iCloud photo backup and sharing as now moved all files over to Synology Photo/Drive and Proton Drive, current step in moving family off the Apple Cloud, already have Domain and email moved to Proton, Passwords in Proton Pass with Bitwarden as a backup after their last faux pas. Should be off big tech in full soon.

Who knew doing IT support for the partner and kids would be such a political event, they are driving me for a change!

Linux Is Best

A company truly outside Us Jurisdiction does NOT have terms and conditions concerning Us Customer and Us Laws, because they do not need them, because they do not apply to them. The same way, they do not need to include the other 200 or so, nations around the world.

It is rocket science. This is not hard to understand.

Linux Is Best

" 200 or so, countries world-wide, and they only include terms and cite laws, that they know apply to them. "

So many corporate simps ignore this little fact.

Do you see Proton cite terms for Japan or Korea, or any other friendly nation? No, because Proton is only subject to the laws where they are a registered business. Proton only (and others like them) worries about the ones that apply to them, and they include the United States of America for a reason.

starfrosch :mastodon:

Ich versuch Google Workspace zu migrieren und bin erst bei #ProtonMail (ganz ok) und #ProtonDrive (ehem, keine Suchfunktion), jetzt bei #kSuite gelandet. Das geht so mit ziemlich grossen Usability Abstrichen. Wo ich noch sehr, sehr unglücklich bin ist bei einem Ersatz für #GooglePhotos auf #Android. #ksync sichert zwar die Bilder vom #Handy, aber da fehlt der vernünftige Fotoeditor, das Feature "Heute vor n Jahren" und der Partnerfotostream. Wenn ihr da noch ein, zwei Tipps hättet. #unplugtrump
