Trusting a private entity to protect your private communications on word of mouth is the most goyslave shit ever. Private host or use protocols with trustless quantum safe E2E and not fucking email. Simple as.
>You can use encryption over email
Literally nophono else besides you supports it

Don't use Protonmail. If you don't control your own emails, somebody else is looking at them. Their "encryption" claims are bogus. Email is a fundamentally insecure protocol that needs to be abandoned for the use of any meaningful communication. Try using 6 SBCs to route your email traffic through on static URL, port forwarding all your email traffic through an outbound Shadowsocks proxy hosted over VPS (like SkySilk), use Mozilla Thunderbird or Roundcube as your webmail client, using the LAN on your 7th SBC on the bottom for your workstation w/ monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, maybe webcam plugged in, register a URL via gandi.net to use your website as a frontend (use .st or .to ccTLD) w/ Anti-DDoS Flood Protection and Firewall by Conor McKnight on Github or Haproxy-protection + alonz22/haproxy-dashboard. SBCs are good for distributed tasks like this.

Is it good if I use it for making burner/unimportant accounts? Like for twitch raids or for soysphere related purposes?
If I don't send emails to any addresses and only use it for confirmation emails, what does that mean? Atleast it's better than gmail I suppose. What can you extract by knowing someone's protonmail?

>>34541
I forgot to ask but what do they as in Proton, extract?

>>34541
The important thing to know about burner accounts is that every piece of information you attach to them or the accounts you use them for is under the providers control. Those free tempmail sites make their money via retarded normies who use them for important things and ransoming or stealing from them. That and creating an army of bot accounts without hiring indians to solve captchas. If you use them for raids, then just make sure to hide the IP you are doing it from and ofc not to attach anything personal like a phone number. I could see them doxing you and threatening to tell your employer or uni what you do to poor innocent trannies online

Your IP and browser fingerprint when setting up probably plus the obvious

email services in general aren't private at all
>see picrel
anonymity can be made better if you take the right precautions, other phonos in this thread have explained it quite well

the main reason why I don't like proton mail is that it's a bit strange
>be proton
>advertise proton mail as secure alternative to other email services
>require another email to create an email
<can I use a temp mail?
>no
<can I use a proton mail I made before this verification was added?
>no
>reduce online storage from 1GB to 500MB
<that's fine I'll use a mail client to store important emails offline
>you can't, you must install our bloatware onto your device to decrypt emails
<I installed it
>now starting paying us in order to use this program you have installed on your device
<I want to use a mail client but I don't want to pay, can I just turn off the encryption?
>no

I have a couple proton emails but I only use them for strict signups that don't allow temp emails or cock.li emails

>>34534 (OP)
dead nigger corporation trying to create a dead nigger ecosystem also dead niggers got dead niggerification emails published by the dead nigger corp
note that they can log emails received when received since most things do not actually encrypt what they transfer except email server to email server
just use pgp and tell them to hurry the fuck up with ml-kem/ml-dsa standardization
protonmail is overcomplicated as is their ecosystem
>>34537 this also
>>34539 just use literally anything to communicate and use pgp
>>34541 no, they have some shit system to stop you doing this so they don't get blocked everything or so they say
>>34546 gigamail picrel use dis btw
>muh tutanota
obliterate niggers (tutanota does not support imap or pop3, only their proprietary protocol which only their client supports. the client however is open source)
you are trusting someone not to get kiked by using email for anything more than basic communication (as it was always intended for)

>>34541
you could also use an email forwarding service for this. i have one proton mail for twitch raids and also use mailgw.com. that way i dont need to make new proton accounts every other day.
>>34542
they get ur ip (theyre required by law to do so, just use a vpn) and your recovery email isnt encrypted (just dont set one up)
also, the headers from the emails u send arent encrypted either. thats about it afaik

is proton VPN safe?

>>34546
you can actually use temp mail, its just most are blocked
also proton lovesssss bending backwards for law enforcement
