Tutanota and Proton are often recommended services. I personally prefer Tutanota, and their encryption. Though, Proton has a nice suite of services, that is worth looking into. Namely their VPN and Drive..
what caused me to lean more towards tuta was their encryption also encrypts the email subject line, and not just the body. I read PGP doesn't allow for that
Tutanota also encrypts email folder ~~and~~ ~~labels~~ names. Last time I checked, Proton does not.
I know contacts are encrypted, but I wasn't aware tuta implemented email labels yet, and all that came up from the search was a post from the company on reddit 6 months ago stating it was planned for the future, at https://web.archive.org/web/20230114104535/https://old.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/10aumyg/question_on_features_in_provided/ .
And encrypted folder names sounds believable, but I can't find a link definitely stating encryption for that, specifically. If you could shoot me a link about it, I'd love to know it's true before I start stating that to others. Don't get me wrong, I really like how privacy-focused tuta is, but I jumped into a paid account knowing their frontend functionality is pretty barebones; something I was fine with supporting while they built it up, since the backend privacy focus and it being open source were the main selling points to me.
Yes, that’s my bad, with Labels. I never really use them, and wrote it without thinking. I do not have a source for my folder claim. I was told this several years ago, by support, when I was enquiring about their service, for business use. It was one of my many questions. While the end user seems their folder name, Tutanota sees a random identifier.
