Proton's founder publicly praised Trump on Twitter, so it's a no-go for me.
I've been using Mailbox for a while and i like it. There are some small annoyances with their web interface but it's not a big problem, I usually use Thunderbird anyway. Mailbox supports IMAP.
Also, you get custom domains.
I like Mailbox a lot, and seem to head in the right direction.
Yet I disagree with "Proton’s founder publicly praised Trump", he did write three times on specific events, most notably praising a Trump nomination (Abigail Slater) to lead the Justice Department's Antitrust Division (hoping she will tackle the big tech 5 as claimed then in January). Of course, that ended in nothing at the end. Andy should have known better, but that is what happens with these people, they are good at what they do, not what they say (and sometimes even what they think). But that is not "praising Trump" but a praising a single action he did. Politically, if you care about that, after hearing a few interviews with him, I think he is more a liberal lefty but that prioritizes antitrust powers on the big 5 (unlike most liberals 1998-2025), so easily misunderstood for a Republican or even MAGA.
Direct quote: "10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned."
This is laughably incorrect. Then he turned around and repeatedly said his statement was politically neutral.
Which is a barefaced lie.
