Are there any private email services

You can use Delta Chat app with any email services.
thanks chat gpt, anyway you got a link to the anarchist cookbook?
Don’t understand your negative reaction. The app encrypt mail with e2e.

Hey man, not cool. Atleast mention why this dude is wrong instead of just mocking them. Now I feel you think delta chat is a shit option, but I don’t know why. That’s not how communication is supposed to work.

Be better, if only to avoid people from turning away from federated social media.

Tutanota and Proton are often recommended services. I personally prefer Tutanota, and their encryption. Though, Proton has a nice suite of services, that is worth looking into. Namely their VPN and Drive…
what caused me to lean more towards tuta was their encryption also encrypts the email subject line, and not just the body. I read PGP doesn’t allow for that
Tutanota also encrypts email folder and labels names. Last time I checked, Proton does not.

I know contacts are encrypted, but I wasn’t aware tuta implemented email labels yet, and all that came up from the search was a post from the company on reddit 6 months ago stating it was planned for the future, at web.archive.org/…/question_on_features_in_provide… .

And encrypted folder names sounds believable, but I can’t find a link definitely stating encryption for that, specifically. If you could shoot me a link about it, I’d love to know it’s true before I start stating that to others. Don’t get me wrong, I really like how privacy-focused tuta is, but I jumped into a paid account knowing their frontend functionality is pretty barebones; something I was fine with supporting while they built it up, since the backend privacy focus and it being open source were the main selling points to me.

Question on features in provided

I am researching new email providers and I have a couple of questions about features. For some reason I could not find a search button to look for...

reddit
Yes, that’s my bad, with Labels. I never really use them, and wrote it without thinking. I do not have a source for my folder claim. I was told this several years ago, by support, when I was enquiring about their service, for business use. It was one of my many questions.
Throwing in Posteo for your consideration.
Email green, secure, simple and ad-free - posteo.de -

Posteo is an innovative email provider that is concerned with sustainability and privacy and is completely ad-free. Our email accounts, calendars and address books can be synchronised - we use comprehensive encryption.

I went with tutanota and I’m liking it so far. However I’m fully aware that email not intended for secure infirmation exchange at all.
I switched for Proton Mail paid plan a few months back. Glad I did
What features are you looking for?

Mailbox.org

Self hosted

I’d strongly recommend against self hosted email.

Has a team of engineers to manage emails and the company finally gave up and switched to AWS because of constantly deliverability issues. I think the commercial companies won that war.

Depends what you do with it. The average private person might never notice issues.

The only way to ensure privacy is something like PGP. Encrypt before you send. Heck you could even encrypt before you put the contents into a message body.

With self hosted, the messages themselves aren’t encrypted at rest and they are clear text between hops even if those hops support TLS in transit.

Note that PGP only encrypts the body, not the subject, sender, or recipient. So it’s only partial encryption and not very private compared to modern messaging services like Matrix. This is a fundamental limitation of email. It’s “Pretty Good Privacy”, not “Very Good Privacy”.
+1 for mailbox.org

Weird. Support was top tier when I had issues. I also own a business account for 30-35 people, and the issues we get are easily resolved by Tutanota. You most likely got a bad rep.

Very valid. Hope you find a good alternative, as I understand that ass support is very frustrating to deal with.
E-mail is not a private service by default. You can “try” to mitigate some privacy flaws using PGP for example but PGP is not wide spread to be something useful.
What exactly do you mean by private with regards to email? What is the problem you’re trying to solve.?
email is not private at all so no
