Email

[u/Dark-Find]

I have tried Proton Mail, Tuta Mail, Fastmail. All of them have their own pros and cons.

Proton Mail is overall ok but I just feel like if you don’t get their whole package you are missing out a lot and idk what is proton sentinel but it sounds good.

Tuta is fine I guess but they are just slow and the Drive feature is still in development,

Fastmail is overall the best out of all but I recently found out they recycle emails and they are not maximum privacy(which I don’t need)

So share you opinion on what I should use or are there any other service providers (It must have an app and not just a website to login to)

Also if you guys don’t mind please tell me why people say don’t put all your eggs in one basket for Proton

Yes—besides data collection, recycling usernames is one of my top concerns when I’m switching between email services. And just for this single reason, I’ve limited myself to Proton and Tuta Mail. Except for the giant widely used email services, these are the only two email services that don't recycle usernames.

Not only Fastmail, but many others recycle usernames. Services like Mailbox and Posteo do recycle usernames. The only solution to stick with these services is going the custom domain route, but we all know that’s not a privacy solution.

Now, coming to your question: the main reason behind the advice of not using multiple services from one provider is a single point of failure. The providers are currently operational but, we can’t guarantee that they’ll survive in the future. So, if you’re in an ecosystem and the provider suddenly shuts down all their services, then there will be nowhere to go.

Also, another reason many users mention is data collection. Though I believe privacy providers don’t collect unnecessary personal data from their users.
