You should assume that US and Israeli intelligence services can read everything in your Protonmail.
Other encrypted webmail providers should also be regarded with suspicion for similar reasons
I’ve been told good things about self-hosting via Mail-in-the-Box, I’ve been looking into hosting mail on Alibaba Cloud to allow for more bureaucratic hurdles, but I haven’t done much there. Get people to use GPG with everything possible
To clarify, my own mail server on Alibaba Cloud
I’ve always thought about doing this, but I’m too lazy. If its sites I have to sign up for, then I just use a non-US email, and if its personal convos with ppl, I just use matrix or signal. Its really unfortunate that encryption was an afterthought with email.
gpg?
GNU Privacy Guard, the GNU Project’s implementation of OpenPGP (Pretty Good Privacy)
You form a web of trust with other people, sign each other’s keys, and can use it to encrypt any file, including emails
You use Windows, Linux, or macOS?
windows and mac. this is interesting, but I doubt i could get any family or friends to use that kind of thing with me. They already think I’m weird for using a VPN
Who knows, you might find it useful. Also remember that nobody can reset the password for it, so you got enough rope to hang yourself with here:
