@lauren @bsdtv @DianeBruce @mwl Seems the influence of the email empire reaches far these days. Sorry to disappoint but you have been woefully misinformed.

@alice To me, this reasoning also shows that Lumo might be biased (but this could also be because I'm no native speaker).

@_elena It's never too late for a custom domain email address and FWIW, StartMail lets you add your own domain, so maybe a viable option for you?

@markwyner @luckychronic I'm in the same boat as Lucky here. I need something free and Tuta seems to be the only good free option. Just like them, I already have one account in Tuta, but I need one other. As far as I can tell both of those others aren't actually free. They just have a free trial which means they cost money after 30 days or whatever. Also, Fastmail keeps backups of all your data in the US even if you select an EU server so that kind of defeats the purpose on that.Tuta is absolutely great, but IMO everyone needs to have two accounts, not one.

@marginalia It's an arms race. They're getting more clever by the day. How can we get around this?
