Proton and tutanota are good privacy options privacy guides has a good writeup. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/
I actually didn't like Tutanota. They've got good goals and the service itself was fine, but being limited to only using their clients was kind of a bummer. I get why they've got that restriction, but it still annoys me to have yet another app to check.
Yeah, 100%. It's only reasonable if you want their full encrypted at rest design model. Every other service, including proton, keeps the metadata unencrypted: to,from,subject. This is done to make searching more manageable, but metadata is the prize.
Having used the tutanots app for a few years, it's grown on me.
Email is a pretty insecure protocol as it is. From what I am aware, you can only get a certain level of security/privacy when sending cross domain emails, so we cannot get the same level of privacy as we would with Matrix or Signal. It's getting the best security you can with a medium we and the world are unfortunately dependent on.
Agreed. We are talking only about the security of the email archive.
Thank you for the heads-up about the client restrictions!
I second this
