Hi guys!
I’m looking for a Proton alternative. So far I’ve seen these two recommended. I was wondering what are the pros/cons of each? Seems Tutanota offers more bang for the buck in mailbox size etc, but I’m not sure. I’d also like to have a better integration with Android, because Proton’s email/calendar apps suck big time.
Thanks!
If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.
Tuta also doesn’t easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. “we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro”

Their clients are open source. Might not be “standard” like PGP, but if you could read code, you could verify that it’s encrypted before it gets sent.
Mailbox.org is great, their webmail setup is good and has contacts and calendar and all the things you would expect to have. With Cal/CardDAV and ActiveSync support too.
People not talking about Startmail or Disroot. Not good options?
I’m all for options, to be honest. What ideally I’d like is some sort of good encrypted email based in some safe European country, which can achieve decent Android integration. Proton apps are pretty useless to that effect (lack of offline basic functionalities, the calendar app isn’t even an android calendar provider). I’m not too hard in moving around my emails, since for the last few years I’ve been giving my email @duck.com which actually ends up sending to my final email after some tracking cleaning. Changing email provider would entail only updating my @duck.com destination.
Following up…Yeah, why not Startmail or Disroot? Startmail seems to offer more bang for the buck than Mailbox. I’m not sure how many aliases you get if you get a paid plan in disroot.
EDIT: I…misread. Startmail offers half-priced plan the first year, then goes ahead and doubles it, getting pricier than Proton, Mailbox and about everyone else I think.
