Ask HN: Who do I choose – Fastmail, Hushmail, ProtonMail, or something else?

7 points by ivanstegic ↗ HN
It's time I broke up with GMail. I've tried ProtonMail and like the idea that they are in Switzerland. Because, Switzerland! I've read about Fastmail and their incredible customer service: I respect CP Botha's opinion and insight. I just saw Hushmail, and that's all I know. The name. Would love to hear some insight on which avenue I choose. I am also thinking about moving my small business as well.

I use Fastmail as my primary service and am happy with it.

I have had a play with the free tier of ProtonMail. It offers a TOR website and an iOS app as well as normal webmail access.

Take a look at Kolab Now (https://kolabnow.com). They are based in Switzerland and are only using open source software. You can also use your custom domain with them.

Runbox looks nice too. Norway based.

I've been with FastMail forever, never had a need to even keep up with whatever else might be available. It just works. Plus, AFAIK their being Australian helps in light of the Snowden leaks.

I use cloudron.io mail server. Super easy to setup (just 3 commands) and you can run it on digital ocean or linode

I've been using posteo.de for a while now. No complaints.
