For some reason I have it in the back of my mind that they were at one point accused of being a honeypot for US intelligence because of their association with MIT. Probably complete BS, but maybe not. Are they as open source as they claim to be? Looks like they’re on github. F-Droid seems to think they have some Google libraries or whatever that they use.

ProtonMail users, how do you like/dislike it?

    If you go into Proton Mail with the understanding that you’re doing it to stop Google from data mining your email

    You’re not really stopping anything if most of the people you’re emailing are still using Google or Microsoft :) Because they’ll get a copy of your email then anyway. This is really the problem with email IMO. Well, one of the problems, a lack of sender authentication is another one.

      I’m mostly just protecting the mountain of old stuff in my archives that I’m too much of a digital hoarder to delete. ;D

      This one is a nightmare. We spend bucketloads on DMARC shit in our department, only to still have loads of issues with email spoofing.
