Ask HN: Gmail alternative for the lazy activist?

15 pointsby derealizedalmost 2 years ago
I like Gmail and have very few complaints about it as a user.<p>I don&#x27;t like Google, the company, and if there is an easy option to migrate to that will cause me the least usability issues, I&#x27;ll migrate.<p>Call me a lazy activist if you will.<p>Any good alternatives that don&#x27;t look like webmail from the 90&#x27;s?

Fastmail. Or a local hosting provider. Some of them have decent webmail.<p>Another option could be to skip webmail and use local clients instead, like Mail.app or whatever you fancy.

Proton. Import process is super easy. I would recommend going for a paying plan. You can import your own domain name, have multiple addresses, you get a VPN, lots of storage space, etc. And they&#x27;ll never open your mailbox to the FBI.

Maybe helpful, but potentially different requirements: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drewdevault.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;06&#x2F;19&#x2F;Mail-service-provider-recommendations.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drewdevault.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;06&#x2F;19&#x2F;Mail-service-provider-rec...</a>

proton has an easy transfer process that I just did. They have to give the govt details they have in case of legal issues like squatting or whatever some bureaucrat makes up, but they can only see your devices and whatever you give them, not the content.<p>Idk about your style preferences though.<p>Edit: Hm, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fsf.org&#x2F;resources&#x2F;webmail-systems" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fsf.org&#x2F;resources&#x2F;webmail-systems</a> this link below seems to say proton has javascript vulnerability...
