Hi everyone! Since I was absolutely fucked by Skiff (thank fuck I didn’t pay for it) I’m looking for a new email provider :) I’m not sure I like how proton is transforming into a full on suit, I only need email. Any other recommendations or is proton my only choice really?

I think you need to read up on the reasons why services like GMail and Facebook are free.

yes but they shouldn't be hiding that fact deep in the settings
also I don't care about encryption and stuff if it prevents me from using my favorite mail client without installing their bridge software
