I’m looking to finally get my spouse and I both onto a non-G email service with a custom domain. Having storage and calendars to replace Drive is the deal-maker with the spouse.

I’ve been using Proton as my alt email for years, but all the new crypto bells and whistles just seems sus from a business management perspective. I get it, they’re Swiss, but still.

But looking at Mailbox.org, their 2FA situation seems bonkers. That’s the dealbreaker for me.

All I really need is IMAP, webmail, and actual security without feeling like I’m going to be doing this all again in 5 years to get out from under another crypto bro.

    I recently switched from Proton to Fastmail…then I found out it seems like they have done union busting in the past. I already paid for it, and they are certainly the lesser evil, but I think I’m gonna get a lifetime mxmail mxroute account during black friday this year.

      Sure, but I also have to consider my spouse and their habits, which are anchored to a shiny Google experience. If it was just me, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

    I am in exactly the same position as you. Let me know how you get on with the transition - it might save me some teething problems later!

    I went through the same transition a few weeks ago. Fuck that Proton CEO.

    I ended up with Migadu for email and selfhosting Baikal for contacts and calendars. No complaints so far.
