proton.me
Encrypted mailbox where the provider cannot read the contents of your messages.
Mail is stored encrypted with a key derived from your password, so Proton can serve your inbox without being able to read it, and messages between Proton accounts are end-to-end encrypted automatically. Swiss jurisdiction and an open-source client are the other half of the pitch. Mail to the rest of the world is ordinary email unless you set a password on it or exchange PGP keys.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Free gives one address, 1 GB of storage and 150 messages a day, and mail to non-Proton users is only encrypted if you take an extra step.
Yes. Proton Mail sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
