much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I know you are not interested in proton but they are the absolute best and you possibly cannot get anything better than their services on the privacy and security end (which they are focused on).
+1 for proton!
I've been using it for years, they've never let me down!
Me too
Proton = No SMTP/IMAP support.
How would they be privacy-centric if they supported SMTP and IMAP?
Both support encryption and Lavabit probably had much higher standards than Proton when it comes to privacy and still supported those open protocols. What Proton is doing is pushing for vendor lock-in at any possible point so you're stuck with what they deem acceptable because it's easier for them to build a service this way and makes more sense from a business / customer retention perspective.
So it's all based on an assumption.
So you assume that Proton won't snitch on you whenever the NSA comes around asking for data?... And I'm sure Lavabit didn't snitch on Snowden.
I don't really care that much about any information like IPs, I care about the actual emails which are encrypted.
There is nothing that indicates that they will snitch since that would be terrible for everyone and also illegal for them to do.
But most importantly lavabit is an American company which is insane for if you care about privacy at all.
Proton also published a transparency report while Lavabit is really opaque.
