Privacy focused platform Skiff is joining Notion, Skiff to be sunset

That said, Google and Microsoft essentially have monopolies in their respective areas of the market (Gmail in consumer, Outlook in B2B), and if you think they aren't slowly letting these products decline while cranking up the revenue extraction...you're dead wrong.

With LLMs they could eliminate spam in a much more reliable way without killing off small senders, tomorrow. Yet, they will never devote any real resources to these products, since they don't have to. Nobody wants to go through the hassle of changing their email.

Outlook still uses the Microsoft Word HTML rendering engine, completely unchanged, from 20 years ago. That's all you need to know about the incentives for innovation after you've successfully captured a network.

That's it - i will not point out the features here as you can look it up yourself. Just the relevancy for this topic: berlin based company with a CEO that is highly skilled, involved in protocol standartization and very much into privacy topics and free software. i am also pretty much sure they will stay arou d for years to come, as they don't sell you into bs statements nobody can hold onto and are just rock solid business. fits my bill..

I do not like to do advertisement for anyone and really think calling out for some company is a no-go. Except one that has its product open source to full extend. But this does not apply here - its a central service you simply have to trust.. EMail is different. As you can, but shall but better not host that mess yourself. So that's the excuse for me doing advertisement here as a one-time exception..

It's the cheapest option i found, i pay less than 10 $ a year.

It works perfectly on Thunderbird. With CalDAV and CardDAV support you have a standard protocol for your contacts and calendar; very portable.

* Android app sending incomplete emails. Sometimes the email would just be truncated once I checked it in my sent folder. They claim this is fixed in their Beta app, but I have not confirmed.

* A large (12-ish-GB) file repeatedly failing to download from Proton Drive, both through the web interface and their desktop app. Took many attempts before it finally worked through the web UI. So... don't use Drive for critical backups without other copies around.

Both of the above were encountered in the last year. Aside form that I've had no other problems that I can remember in all these years, so I've been generally happy with it.
