Same! And there's not a good email alternative that's as popular

that's... false?

There is default encryption and you can enable stricter and contact storage and force highest transport encryption in the settings.
It also supports PGP

Doesn't support own domains unfortunately.

I just switched to purelymail and I am so far pretty happy with it. Plus its way cheaper.

Really, unencrypted email in 2025? Feels like a bad joke.

PurelyMail is great, my only fears are two:

  • its owner lives in the US, so the NSA can easily snoop into my mail
  • it's managed by one single guy, so the bus factor is 1

Tuta is decent. I have been using them for a long time every since proton tried gas-lighting everyone about javascript based browser interface being secure for e2ee.
