Best Private Email Providers: Why You Should Ditch Gmail

Why?

In today’s days you can’t avoid email’s you need one for every service on internet.

But hold on foss-daily? Why would i want switch from GMail to another email provider? Well..

You can use GMail for example accounts on sites but its not very recommended, for communicating with other people you don’t have any privacy on GMail since they don’t encrypt your emails and recently Google made it that their own ai can read your emails. Source

It can be privacy nightmare and potential security risk. So if your planning to use Email to communicate with other people. There are some alternatives what you could want try.

Recommended Providers

ProtonMail

First of all ProtonMail encrypts E2EE emails if you CONTACT another person using PROTONMAIL it won’t work if they use Google Mail or anything

ProtonMail supports anonymous payment method such as Cash or Monero (third party)

TutaMail

TutaMail does same shit as Proton but encrypts EVERYTHING - emails, contacts, calendar, all of it. E2EE between Tuta users obviously.

They’re based in Germany so actual privacy laws not US bullshit. Accept crypto payments so you can stay anonymous. Plus their code is open source you can check yourself they not lying.

Also they got custom domain support if you want that.

Which one?

Both are good just make sure to pick one.

ProtonMail has more features and its more known. TutaMail is more hardcore about encryption (encrypts more stuff by default).

Free tiers exist on both of mail providers.

How to switch

1. Make new account on Proton or Tuta
2. Export your Gmail (Google Takeout)
3. Import to new provider
4. Change your email on important accounts
5. Set Gmail to forward to new address while you migrate
6. Delete Google account when ready
