I’m in a quest to find a good email provider that doesn’t ask for a cellphone or another email address while creating an account, cock.li used to do this but now it’s “getting back on its feet”
It’s a huge pain in the ass getting things like DMARC and DKIM and whatever to work. Without those, most providers won’t even deliver your messages. But luckily, there are websites that help you check and fix your configuration
Even once you do get these things set up correctly, most providers will send your outgoing messages straight to the recipient’s spam folder
That being said, I believe most providers will mark you as “not spam” if the other person initiates the conversation. So this could be a non-problem if you’re making an email for your business and putting it on business cards or something.
Mullvad (VPN provider) self-hosts their support email, and they seem to be doing fine.
I think you used to be able to “bootstrap” a proton account with a mail.ru account (which needs no prior email or phone), but I don’t think that works any more
The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.
If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn’t support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).
I’m still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

Selfhosted email I guess.
Is that even feasible without getting marked as spam by all the major players?
Hi, I recently set up my own email server

Don’t u need an existing email to bootstrap that process.

nope, you can skip for the first account and then validate after the fact

Just signed up for Tuta and they do not ask for this.
Proton does this.
Proton? More like pro Nazi.
OFTL Did they support Trump?

Their founder did, very openly and expressively, it was quite bizarre
Then he tried to walk it back by gaslighting.
“I wasn’t being political” said the man who was clearly being political.
There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.
Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).
Proton?
Personally I use mailbox.org, it’s not free, but you are not the product
