I am now using disroot . I don't care about anonymity or anything as I just wanna use it to connect to my bank, ID and buy/book shit etc. Which all have my phone number, address, name etc anyway so no point in that . I just want the security privacy to be good enough that no one can easily hack it, steal my OTP, inbox etc and I want it to be big and trusted enough that they won't sell it/sell it and go Scott free also gmail asks email or phone number for verification and then brick acc if I don't comply so I'd like to skip those kind of ones . Is disroot enough for my uses ? Also I'd like a free one as I barely use emails like 3 or 4 times a year .

I use also Murena Mail, apart of Proton https://murena.io Murena is a whole ecosystem, similar to GDrive, they even had launched the complete degoogled Murena smartphones

Tech Radar review

Murena’s key goal is to stop companies collecting unnecessary data from your phone and online footprints, which it says accounts for up to 12Mb every single day. Transparency is clearly important when browsing Murena’s website, which states that all of its servers are based in Europe including its Finnish email and cloud servers, resulting in full GDPR compliance.

Nextcloud, which sets the foundation for many of Murena’s services, is end-to-end encrypted, while a statement on Murena’s website reads:

“We don’t scan your data, we don’t log your app usage, we don’t sell your data, we don’t use ads in our online services.”

Negative points for some

Only 1 GB Cloud for free (maybe enough if you only use the mail)
Somewhat more expensive than others with the Premium plan

the source code of their services is open?

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, the only thing which until now isn't opensource is Magic Earth, which they use in their /e/OS (degoogled Android) instead of Google maps.

That looks really good . Would you recommend switching from disroot to this ?

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Well, at least for me Murena is a nice and private Mail and OpenSource. If 1 GB is enough for you, it's a good choice. Apart there is no need to switch, it's always advisable to have several mail accounts at hand.
