I recently had to spin up an email account for something and tried ProtonMail. I liked the interface and the tools they have to quickly forward you mail out of Gmail. The price is negligible and if it will help reduce ads and spam then all the better.

But here's the question - is it kiked? I vaguely recall them handing over user info to the feds, but I don't remember the particulars. I'm certainly not doing anything illegal, but I'd like a service I pay for to put more resistance than tissue paper when the fuckbag feds come calling.

What kind of filtering software do you use? I work on my company's mail gateway almost everyday. There's so much bullshit that comes in that needs to be screened out. Viruses, scams, phishing etc. You can't just throw a mail server out these days right? Once the MX record is published isn't it a forgone conclusion you're going to be inundated with random horseshit?

I don't use email all that much and I have a White list.

When I share my email address, I mention to people to add a specific code in the first one they'll send me (at the end of subject) or the email gets automatically deleted. That way the sender gets added to the White list.

I honestly don't use it for communication with other people either. It's usually more of a correspondence with companies. Receipts and stuff like that.

Gotta have an email to login everywhere these days. Maybe Gmail is fine for what I'm using it for.
