Hot take: stop falling for Protonmail and Tutanota's lies about the existence of “safe e-mails”.
Encrypting the payload of the email isn't worth it, most surveillance programs doesn't need to see it anyway to draw conclusions, since metadatas are always in plaintext.
(For example: if you receive mail from your doctor, and then you send an email to some cancer scan institute, I pretty much can guess what happened without the content)
They also can be compromised very easily, since you rely on the webmail/app, what prevent them to middle-man the pgp-encrypted mail you received ? You're safer with a trusted browser extension / mail client encrypting the payload yourself...
In addition, Protonmail is lock-in: they don't offer any auto-forwarding ability, voluntary remove Sieve Filter's ability to forward email.
I don't know for Tutanota, I hope they play nicer.
Weh, sorry, saw an ad again for them needed to vent (and I'm locked on proton it's frustrating)

@Miaourt So whats a better alternative?
@Miaourt@raru.re@Rasp don't use emails for confidential stuff, and warn friends about it.
And be weary of false promises.
@Miaourt I meant just what should we use for general email stuff?
@Rasp as if I know, as I said in the first post I'm still on proton ? I mean, its free and it work-ish.
But I don't trust them for the reasons above.
I still hope they are better than google in other aspects.
@Miaourt it'd be nice if they didn't sell data
@Rasp I believe they don't, their subscription should be enough to keep them afloat.
But, well, capitalism is rarely about being sustainable, in the long run most for-profit org sink in their cash
