Proton Mail adds a bitcoin wallet. Yes, really. - awful.systems

So as someone who recently switched to proton before this BS, what’s good to switch to?
Depends a lot on what you’re looking for? If you just want email, then you have a lot of options. Mailbox.org, Posteo, tuta, mailfence, fastmail, and runbox all come to mind. If you want a full gsuite replacement, ala proton unlimited, then your options are limited.

IMO you gotta consider the email and calendar functions as inseparable, whereas the rest of the Google bundle can be teased apart. Privacy Guides is perhaps a bit too stingy with their recommendations, but at minimum they give you a lot of food for thought when they lay out their criteria:

These email providers offer a great place to store your emails securely, and many offer interoperable OpenPGP encryption with other providers.

I host my calendar on Nextcloud and email (currently) through Protonmail. What makes them inseparable?

Well, you know better than me, because I’ve never not used them together.

How do you, for example, invite people to things? Does your calendar just send an ICS attachment to Proton on SMTP? How do you RSVP for other people’s invites? Do you download the event to your calendar and separately respond in proton? Do you get updates in the calendar app about other people’s RSVP status, or just emails?

I rarely get calendar invites - much less ones that I have to respond to - to my personal Email account. I do on my work email, but I don’t plan on self hosting that anytime soon.
