I only use one subscription service in my life and it’s email from proton. I once knew a sysadmin who said that self-hosting email is a full-time job. So I just pay for my email with a reputable company and have my own domain name attached. His comment scared me off for good. But other people have said it’s not that hard. Please write me your experience , ok?
I spent a couple hours setting up my accounts and keys and syncing them across devices so that I could access my secure email from any of them, importing them into K9 and thunderbird and publishing my public keys to a keyserver. Once I verified it was all working I realised that no one else I know uses PGP with email and it was a giant waste of time
No matter who someone is, don’t give them all of your personal property.
I use Protonmail from Proton. That’s it.
Same. And once i stop procrastinating i want to set up my own email server as well.
Have fun, it’s hell and the pain doesn’t stop until you give up.
Most accurate comment I ever read
It does, in fact, stop! Persevere!

Don’t do it unless you are into technomasichism.
Oooh naughty naughty. If you’re into some light cutting I have tips.
How do you manage to keep your PGP keys locally with Protonmail?

IIRC Proton doesn’t offer any access to their mail server using standard protocols (POP3, IMAP)…
