Yes interesting! I never heard of the other two before (beside gmail). Although
I value my privacy, I'm not going to switch, too much work... ;)

But good to know there are alternatives for gmail.

Bye, Wilfred.

I too thought that adding Gmail into the discussion was weird and not a valid
comparison to the other "secure" systems. But the inclusion is educational.

Tutanota was a new one for me, only a few months ago. It's 1GB space vs
Protonmail's 500MB is pretty good. I've been with Protonmail for at least 6
years now, and have 25GB used space, primarily due to the Sent folder keeping
copies I probably no longer need.

No need to switch.. just try to embrace the alternative gradually.


> But good to know there are alternatives for gmail.

The inventor of Protonmail has a short TedTalk about it. Again, some
comparisons to the non-secure systems were made.

A few weeks ago I learned about FlowCrypt (Firefox plugin) which is designed to
provide an encrypted interface with Gmail. Have you tried that?

Remind me, how do you integrate gpg with your gmail? Do you fetch the messages
into a local email program?

Your signature is double spaced, and I get this when I try to check it:

gpg: Signature made za 04 dec 2021 02:00:22 CET using RSA key ID 5789589B
gpg: WARNING: signature digest conflict in message
gpg: Can't check signature: General error

Btw: Tommy's signature verify's fine.


Bye, Wilfred.
