My oldest email account is from late 2008 and I've used a grand total of 2.04GB. I say this just to demonstrate how much storage email really needs.
Proton Unlimited - $120/yr, comes with:
Alternatives:
Email: Fastmail: $60/yr
Storage:
Password manager:
The only one I have trouble with is VPN. A while back I would have said Mullvad but unfortunately they don't do port forwarding anymore so not so great for P2P.
Can you recommend wasabi storage personally?
I never heard of it and I've been shopping for a cloud backup.
Yeah, I use it personally.
It’s where my restic backup goes and I’ve had 0 issues.
I’m considering switching to B2 since I think it would be a little cheaper but I haven’t used that.
I don't know if fastmail is an appropriate comparison as it isn't e2ee and if you're getting proton unlimited, you're probably gonna go for the 2-year plan, which is cheaper, at $7.99/month ($95.88/year).
I had protonmail for a few years. Guess how many e2e encrypted emails I sent.
You can also get encryption in Fastmail by using something like Mailvelope.
At least proton doesn't have access to the emails. Also, I actually have used it. This one time this dr asked me to send medical stuff to their yahoo mail. I was like hell no let me send you the password to my encrypted email.
Oh, that isn't the encryption feature I was thinking of. You're talking about a password protected email, not E2EE, though that may technically be E2EE.
That's super shitty of your doc by the way, but you already know that.
I have used the password protected email feature before, once, in the few years I used Proton.
I've also sent password protected .zip files with 7-zip.
It just doesn't come up that often and there are other ways around it. And for E2EE, I have Mailvelope.
