Many say its really bad because they are complying with subpoeanas, but email itself is most often not encrypted anyway

But if youre using your acc for stuff that needs actual opsec, use something else

I personally prefer fastmail tho

I use it. It’s fine. Any paid email provider is fine really.

I’m staying a free user though because I don’t want to get my account deleted if I fail to pay for 6 months due to being in a coma or ICE detention or wrongfully arrested or rightfully arrested.
