"... these organizations have replaced all their email ... with the Element app ... Element to secure our communications with partners, replacing email, ... "
Unless Element is running an email server for UNICC, that sounds like UNICC will try to convince UN staff/volunteers to stop using email. If they're currently using MS Outlook, that's understandable, but better would be to also get secure email e.g. #Protonmail.
Sure, but the question was never "switching from XMPP" : #Signal is an entry-level application for people interested by privacy but without technical knowledge.
I have yet to succeed in convincing anyone to use #XMPP while I already convinced people in my circle of relations to use Signal.
And of the people I convinced to use #protonmail only maybe one in ten remembers their password or care to check their inbox from time to time.
Anyone got any good alternatives to Proton for business email that still avoids data-mining etc? Trying to set up SMTP with Proton has so far involved opening a support ticket and getting asked things like what I sell, when do I launch, how many orders do I expect per hour and per day, and so on. I found that odd for a company supposedly focused on privacy. #protonmail#Email#privacy
Proton Mail automatically encrypts/decrypts messages between Proton Mail accounts via OpenPGP/PGP.
Proton Mail supports automatically encrypting/decrypting messages between Proton Mail accounts and external email accounts that support OpenPGP/PGP or GnuPG/GPG.
Seems like #protonmail is down. @protonprivacy your status page says everything is ok but I’m getting lots of internal server errors in the iOS app and on the web app.
Everything you need to know about so-called 'Swiss Privacy' we learned decades ago from Operation Thesaurus, AKA, Operation Rubicon. We learned that CIA operations and black budget banking are actually headquartered in the Swiss underground.
If you trust any third-party server to protect your privacy, you're a rube. If you trust Proton Mail to protect your privacy, you're a rube getting 'crossed' by the Swiss Rubi-con. Either you own your keys and your data on your computer or else you have no privacy. Someone else's promise that your data will be 'encrypted' so they can't decipher it is a hollow pledge. If you send any form of plaintext to a remote server, no matter how much they claim to encrypt it, you have zero assurance of data privacy.
The best part of today was waking up and seeing that #protonmail now has a material you compatible app icon on Android! It was the only app left, and now everything matches!
I like ProtonMail, but it's a shame that they provide latest app versions for Android quickly and constantly only via Google Play store – as someone who uses their Github Releases, I'm still locked in with v3.0.17 :sad_cat:
It's not to say they shouldn't, but for all their talk about being anti-Google and anti-big tech (and rightly so!), they still don't provide a libre version, and a stable APK release out of Google Play store
@protonprivacy, it would be much appreciated if the #protonmail Android app had a HTML option (as in the Windows app), for a better, more readable layout.
@protonprivacy#protonmail appears to be unreachable in some parts of the world, not only Turkey as the status page reports, both #desktop and #mobile app are not working
From a Protonmail email: “We are announcing our new policy regarding the storage of data, that will be implemented on April 9, 2025. Under this policy, we reserve the right to delete all data associated with Proton Accounts on a Free plan that remain inactive for one year (12 consecutive months). “ (1/2) @protonprivacy#protonmail
Decided to test (again)/how #GrapheneOS works for me without Play Services. Not going well, to be honest. I had never thought that just about all the apps I care about require Firebase notifications.
To be clear, this is not about GrapheneOS, but about the sad sad state of mobile devices. Home Assistant Lite from F-Droid can do notifications, but just never realized it also depends on Google. The myriad of error notifications after removing GSF was a bit overkill on HA.
For #ProtonMail it feels almost unacceptable that their Android app relies on Firebase to get notifications. Considering privacy is one of their main selling points, it's baffling. AFAIK implementing UnifiedPush is not at all impossible for Android, and they have the crypto knowhow to work around the privacy aspects.
I've been using, and paying for a #Tutanota email for over 3 years now. And I think I'm going to give it up.
After 3 years, it's still not possible to use OpenPGP, I have to use a dodgy system and give a password to everyone I want to email who doesn't use Tutanota.
Searching for emails is a pain, a real pain.
It is not possible to use any client other than Tutanota.
I came from #ProtonMail, and changed because their commercial com. became too aggressive for my taste. I may reconsider...
Swiss authorities intervene, Proton Mail not blocked in India (www.moneycontrol.com)
