    mailbox.org isn’t encrypted like Proton mail is. (Of course, Proton could steal your decryption password, but still)

      Proton is only encrypted between proton users. Proton mail to/from gmail or outlook is plain text, unless the recipient sets up PGP, and you can do E2EE with PGP over any host.

        All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that’s true, it’s not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they’re not doing so already.

        Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don’t apply?
