What email provider are you with? - eviltoast

I have heard people having issues with archiving emails using protonmail. Curious to hear of people’s email provider and why?

      Not the same guy, but i do use protons services. I like the seamless integration of simplelogin for burner mails that you can also answer with from your proton inbox, VPN across multiple devices (work well on android and windows, but the linux client is severely lacking), the calender is basic but has the functionality i want from a calendar, proton password manager integrates well with mail/simplelogin so you can create aliases and logins seamlessly. Their Drive solution i dont use much since it’s all manual backup at the moment.

      If you want an easy one-stop solution that works generally well with no tinkering, I’d say it’s worth it.

        How is the calendar basic? I use it and haven’t noticed anything I want that it can’t do.

          I mean, it does what a calender should do i guess. I can make appointments and that stuff, which is just the basic functionality expected of a calender application, but there’s no sharing or syncing whatsoever.

    • I really like their VPN, in fact, I put my entire home network behind Proton VPN. I also use Proton Calendar for shared calendars, for my personal stuff I use a self-hosted solution. Sometimes I upload something to Proton Drive. But probably the most useful Proton product (other than Mail) is SimpleLogin which you also get Premium access to when you subscribe to a paid Proton plan. It allows you to generate an unlimited amount of alias email addresses and all messages are forwarded to your inbox, it’s awesome, I love it.
