I am transferring all of my email address; a few years back it took me months to figure out what was all going to my gmail account that was used signing up for stuff even though there was some web app I used, I was going to move away from the Google as much as possible, minus search and YouTube. Several months ago I moved away from Google search, and was stuck with YouTube as there is no real competition to it, that my favourite channels use, so I am stuck with it.
So iCloud’s hide my email was the replacement for Gmail, it was a lot easier to cancel junk mail by being able to just turn off email addresses that started spamming me. Come now to the buy Canadian stuff I am turning off all my hide my email addresses and moving some to proton pass, most of the emails so far I can just delete but many I have to go to the webpage and change the address. It is hard work and I have given myself a deadline of the end of the month when my iCloud subscription is done and dusted. Only 152 email addresses left!
Careful with proton mail. The CEO has come out as a maga suporter.

Piss off, now my plan on going to bitwarden and my own domain emails for random stuff.
Bitwarden is American, use 1Password.
Bitwarden is open source though. Self host, if you can. But yeah, looks like 1Password is headquartered in Toronto.
Indeed, but a lot of people use their cloud service, which is US-based and hosted. This is not OP’s case, however.
I was going to self host but I will check out 1password
I’m using proton myself and have still continued to do so after these news. I kinda disagree that the founder is necessarily in any way maga or even a republican support just because he expressed praise for republicans on one particular issue. I think that’s taking it a bit too far, unless I’ve missed something where he clearly endorses Trump or his views more broadly.
I’m using Proton myself and plan to leave with a scorched earth mentality on it.
Simply put, America is sliding into fascism at lightning speed. Their president is attempting erasure of whole classes of people, and is openly discussing crimes against humanity as plans.
Who gives a fuck about an appointee?
The Optics are Andy Yen throwing praise and bending the knee.
Also regarding his carefully worded back pedaling:
It’s Republicans and Democrats, not Dems.
I’d tell him to go fuck himself to his face, but will settle for not funding him.

FYI when I switched email providers it was almost totally painless since I use email aliases and a custom domain. It’s a really good setup even aside from the ease of switching.
Switching from Proton to Posteo was literally just updating a few DNS records.

Oh, gotcha. I use a wildcard address so everything worked out of the box for me since I didn’t need to import specific ones.
Exact same thing with me, I’m like I can’t keep jumping around like this. There’s only so far I’m willing to go, where good enough is going to have to be good enough, it’s far more then most people are willing to do already.
I agree. Was using proton before and will continue to use it as it’s a solid product worth paying for
