How will Proton navigate the AI transition? Read the internal memo by Proton CTO Bart Butler.

  • I didn’t expected this kind of thing to show up today.

  • I don’t want to use a vibecode slop that isnt tested by real humans.

  • I just want a secure and privacy respecting email not ai slop.

  • Good Bye Proton I am Not Happy With You

Any Suggestion ?

  • I want drive and calender support
  • Made by humans not slop machine.
  • FOSS
  • May Be a Linux Client Support

    Well, that’s it, I’m never touching Proton again.

    As for suggestions: I haven’t used Tuta, but I’ve only heard good things about them. Personally I use mailbox. They have drive and calendar, they’re German, and they do/support a lot of cool stuff regarding FOSS. I’m not sure about slop, but from a quick glance I couldn’t find a single mention about AI on their website, not even in their job listings. I don’t think they have official clients, but they support open standards like SMTP/IMAP, WebDAV etc.

    I haven’t used their drive and calendar though, only email, since I self-host Nextcloud (if you’re into self-hosting, I highly recommend it).

      Also, side note: Regardless of where you switch to, get your own domain! I cannot stress this enough. If you ever need to switch providers (which you’ll eventually need to), you’re gonna have a much easier time if your email is me@mydomain.tld, just pointing DNS at your new provider, bulk transfer/export all previous emails, and voila.

        100%. I’ve had the same email going on 20 years. It’s been hosted in a dozen different places. It was on proton for a while, it’s on mailbox.org now. I can move again in an hour.
