Proton Mail started relocation out of Switzerland due to changes in Swiss legislation

I've just had another brilliant idea. You can run a spool of RJ11 cable betwixt your computer and your recipients computer. Then install a 56K modem on each system and host a dial-up server on the recipient machine.

Ya... but unless you are providing "dial tone" THEY can always request/get a wire tap at the Switch :cool:

You are probably better off running NULL MODEM cables to each recipients premises. At that point you might as well use tight beam communication like laser to each premises. The carrier pigeon idea or the "palace courier" carrying the encrypted note from the "palace" to some destination idea is probably cheaper?

I mean they are using WI/FI modems (link) to accurately scan where people are inside their premises these days through entire walls. Are you using a WI/FI modem !?

One practical advice: take a USB drive with hundreds of 1MB random data files to someone you need to exchange important things. Use these as one time pads. According to my knowledge, one time pads are secure.

RFC-1149 works. High bandwidth (when using 128GB SD cards), latency sucks though.
 
Xkcd had a calculation about the bandwidth of a container ship loaded with containers full of micro-sd cards. Do not underestimate the sneaker network.

I resist till now to read email with GUI client or web browser.

For me proton is no alternative for normal mail because no normal smtp / imap.

I suspect the best solution would be that more people use encryption to be more independent of privacy policy of provider.

But till now no success with mass encryption, we need better support in clients.

Own mail server is a problem:

H

Thread 'Google began sending mails from my server to SPAM folder'

I comply with everything here:

Email sender guidelines - Google Workspace Admin Help

The guidelines in this article can help you successfully send and deliver email to personal Gmail accounts. Starting in 2024, email senders must meet the requirements described here to send email to G
support.google.com support.google.com

The Server is only experimental, mail relay is filtered with most strict spamhouse db, no signal misuse.

It is frustrating, it seems one is forced to use the service of big mail providers.

I just checked https://proton.me/mail/pricing#compare-plans (you may need to click "See all features" at bottom of page to see the smtp/imap features):
you need a paid account to have email client via smpt / imap access.

You are correct, however, the free account does not offer an smtp / imap interface.
