Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit... anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I'm sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don't even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren't gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I'm not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I'm specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

While we're at it, anyone got a good site for temporary addresses that are basically used exactly once? And ideally don't immediately get flagged as spam addresses.

Decent functionality, and it didn't get flagged most of the time I used it.

Protonmail. I have over 25 different online accounts/identities (each one for a different topic gaming, movies, music, coding etc.), all Protonmail based.

Proton has a good service

[–] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. But one thing I didn't like was it locked me from using Proton services (even free plan) once my premium plan ran out until I paid $6 cancelation fee BS.

do you know of alternative? I wanted to leave them because of this but found they most other options were not as close as good.

Rise up has changed their invite policy to one every 24 hours. I am sending out invites in order of request, but have had (to date) 21 DM’s. I have to draw a line and will send one per day until I am cut off.

Thanks

ProtonMail is run by a non profit foundation based in Switzerland. It's also end to end encrypted

I really can't speak on the security or data privacy of it, since I'm not knowledgeable enough in these topics, but I pay 1€ per month for Port87. I just love the ability to easily create sub-adresses and never have to worry about my "main adresses" receiving the spam I get for e.g. online shopping

I have two. One account is through Protonmail and my main email account is through Private Email. Both are paid accounts, though Proton does have a free tier if money is tight.
