I’m considering moving identity to a new email provider since i have loads of emails from gmail and proton etc. I just wanna delete them all and start fresh. While I accept email isn’t an inherently private form of communication, what would you all say is the most trustworthy/private?

[image] Encrypted Private Email Recommendations - Privacy Guides These email providers offer a great place to store your emails securely, and many offer interoperable OpenPGP encryption with other providers.

Would Riseup.net also meet those requirements?

For a traditional mail experience I’d just go with mailbox.org over riseup or cock.li. My only complaints are: Alias recycling. I would like them to be permanent, but I understand why they are not. Odd 2fa experience I have some workflow specific needs that keep me on mailbox.org over Tuta or PM.…

If not enabling the pgp inbox encryption, what encryption do you get?

Check disroot.org if it is OK for your needs.
