    This is unbelievably disappointing. Just canceled my annual membership (which was set to renew in ~2 weeks).

    Looks like I’ll be moving to Tuta tomorrow.

      Okay I’m researching tuta now … I have a 2 year sub already though. Was literally in the process of moving from Gmail. Self hosted is tough for me. I guess this is the new normal. Milkshake duck…

        My suggestion is, get yourself a domain with email included (I know a few european providers that I tested personally but I bet most of them include a mail service, even if it isnt advertised in the product page), can be had for as cheap as 6€/year. Test it out see if it’s enough and it works with third party email clients that you like.

        Then later you can also purchase a dedicated mail service on top (but separately) of your domain, starting from 1€/month usually; the advantage to just the barebone approach is a nicer dedicated web interface, apps, support, etc. But it’s optional.

        I’m wary instead of these all-in-one hefty and pricy (for personal use) services like Proton, do we really need all this interoperability between a drive storage and email and calendar? I think that’s the job of the operating system. Is copy-pasting a link to a different app really that inconvenient?
