ProtonMail

An end-to-end encrypted email service based in Germany, which has strong privacy laws. Emails between ProtonMail users are automatically encrypted, and it offers features to send encrypted emails to non-users. It is a relatively* secure alternative to mainstream email providers, with a focus on privacy and security. ProtonMail is developed by scientists and engineers from CERN and MIT, and it is funded by the European Commission and private investors who prioritize privacy. The service is open-source, allowing for transparency and community review of its security features. ProtonMail offers both free and paid plans, with the paid plans providing additional storage and features. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android platforms.

Worth Noting

ProtonMail is based in Switzerland, which has strong privacy laws. However, users should be aware that email metadata (such as sender and recipient information) may still be accessible to ProtonMail and potentially to third parties under certain circumstances. A Court order may compel ProtonMail to provide user data, such as IP addresses (URL_to_Climate_activist_arrest), although the content of emails remains encrypted and inaccessible without the user's password.
