In an article discussing secure email services, the need for data protection online is emphasized due to personal details in emails being vulnerable to hackers.

No mention of MailboxORG?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but afaik Mailbox.org is not encrypted (beyond standard TLS, that is).
Their main selling point used to be bring-your-own-domain emails for 1€/mo but they changed their pricing to a more average 3€/mo earlier this year.
They have an opt-in feature that encrypts all emails that will be saved in your inbox with an PGP key pair, like Proton does. https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/security-privacy-article/activate-your-mailbox-org-guard
I use tutanota and really dig it. I basically only give its email address to more important things and let gmail be a junk mail now.
No skiff?
Tutanota needs a native mail client that’s not based on electron. It feels like a chore to open new emails in their current apps.
- ProtonMail is more name than actual security product
I use StartMail.com with Apple Mail for Client… This is way more safe and better than gmail
