    If only I could use IMAP I’d be one of them. But I went with Posteo for that very reason.

      Not wanting to get political is a 🚩

      Most western countries have a conservative party pushing against all things FOSS, anti-monopoly, privacy protection, data control, beneficial regulations, etc.

      Proton caught flak because one of their board members vocally supported “the bad guys” who stand against everything proton claimed to defend and support.

    Are there any good guides for switching from gmail to Tuta/Proton/Start/etc?

    I am also interested, but my ancient gmail account annoyingly still gets lots of important stuff and I would be interested how easy or complicated is to redirect emails or exporting contacts for example.

    edit: thanks for the suggestion! I will definetly switch now. Just need to decide between Proton and Tuta :D

      set up filters in gmail with redirection to your tuta account; this way you can slowly forward important things while keeping less important stuff in gmail and clean up your inbox.

      then just add new filters as needed.

        This. Actually Proton tells you to do this if you want to get extra storage space on free account.
