"Trusted" eMail Providers? (lemmy.zip)

I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I'm switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren't accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won't send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I'm US-based.

I use Tuta with a custom domain name. Never had any issues. About $12 a year.

I personally suggest against Tuta as they refuse to implement support for open-standard E-Mail encryption like PGP. But they're definitely better than Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, GMX, etc.

I share this concern.

I'm new at this, but the biggest reason I'm not going with Tuta is that I want encryption that is interoperable with other providers that offer encryption.

What do you mean by refuse? Did the shoot down a feature request?

[–] voxel@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

Their marketing shoots down PGP on their website with false claims why their encryption is so much better. They for example claim that PGP does not encrypt the subject line, which is false as that is already supported, just not adopted everywhere yet.
