Encrypting your messages ensures that no one, not even your email provider, can read them. PreVeil and Proton Mail both handle that task, each with its own style. I help you decide which is right for you.

#yahoo #email wants me to agree to their T&C in order to attach a document from my phone to an email. This is unbelievable. Speechless. #ProtonMail
Heißt das nun, dass ich mir einen neuen Anbieter für #email, #messaging und #vpn suchen muss?

Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension of VS Code from forks like VSCodium and Cursor:
https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/24/microsoft_vs_code_subtracts_cc_extension/
(Wonder how long it will take for them to deny access to the whole extension store at this point... I already considered looking for alternatives to VSCodium, but all alternatives either don't have split view or website preview feature (even with extensions), so it's not that easy for me to switch. But maybe I'll do a research again and see e.g. if Pulsar already has some Live Server replacement, or maybe a custom localhost solution independent from any code editor, will see.)
Indian court orders a ban on Proton Mail, because of some bad actors sharing deepfakes via the service:
https://news.itsfoss.com/india-proton-mail-ban/
(What a BS excuse to ban a service. Why don't just ban the whole Internet at this point because of some scumbags doing malicious stuff? But of course this was just an excuse to get rid of an encrypted service, this isn't the first time the Indian government does this, they already banned Proton VPN earlier.)

Has anyone here used Proton Mail for business?
I found a thread on Reddit saying their mails to clients are going directly to spam.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1hyt5/emails_going_to_spam_a_fair_amount/
I've been using proton as my main email provider for a couple of years and i never realized this was a problem at all. I mean, many times i don't get a response but i thought it was because they didn't want to respond at all.
This week in the Weekly News Roundup, India wages war against Proton Mail. What can we learn? We also look at vehicular surveillance and agentic credit card shopping. Join us for the quick highlights of the week.

I am in the process of moving from Gmail to Proton mail. I started testing out the free version of Proton mail but soon moved to the Unlimited subscription with Drive, VPN, Pass.etc.
I am mainly switching because Proton is a European (Swiss) alternative to American big tech. It is definitely not as feature rich or mature as Google but I find it an excellent and an exciting replacement.
I've been using Gmail since it came (as Google mail in 2004) so it is quite a change, especially because I am using Google third party sign-in on a lot of websites. So far it is going well, I am enjoying this journey and I highly recommend the Proton suite 
ProtonProton Mail: Get a free email account with privacy and encryption | ProtonProton Mail is the world’s largest secure email service with over 100 million users. Available on Web, iOS, Android, and desktop. Protected by Swiss privacy law.
India’s court just ordered a nationwide block of Proton Mail—because it wouldn’t hand over user data.
Encrypted email isn’t the problem. Censorship is.
This is a massive overreach against privacy and digital rights.
