    Do y’all know how Fastmail measures up in regards to privacy?

    I’m happy with the service, but I don’t know how it compares in this particular domain, compared to the likes of Proton, Tuta, et al.

      +No ads, no data selling – user-funded.

      +2FA & Passkey support for added security.

      -Based in Australia – subject to laws like the Assistance and Access Act (2018).

      -No built-in end-to-end encryption (E2EE) – requires third-party PGP/S/MIME.

      Good for privacy, but jurisdiction risks & lack of E2EE make alternatives like tuta (or proton) a better choice.
