Take it easy on me with the big boy terms haha, you mind explaining them? Except E2E, I know what end to end encryption is, tho idk if EE2E is another thing or just a typo by you
Another user said mailcow, thoughts?
I think they meant E2EE (End-to-end encryption)
OpenPGP is an encryption standard
JMAP/IMAP iirc lets you use other clients like Thunderbird (you won't be able to use 3rd party clients with proton unless you pay for it so take that into account too)
Isn't PGP what they say to always encrypt any message you send with prior to sending it? Especially on Dread and DNM Bible, never understood how to actually use it though
yeah it is used for encryption, in this case mails between proton users can be encrypted using OpenPGP
i recommend to research a bit yourself on these topics and your use case for privacy in this context. email is not private by design.
