Mail provider to use with tails (lemmygrad.ml)

Hey comrades,

As we all know we need to practice good security culture. For activism online this ofc means doing everything possible related to your activism on Linux Tails. If you don't know it please take a look at it https://tails.net/.

Disclaimer, mails shouldn't be used for secure communication. Talking in person should be used. Since everything runs over Mail it is essential to be able to create email Accounts on your Tails system and keep it on there. Protonmail works in the past, but it has 2 large issues:

  • The CEO has weird political affiliations, thus this bekomes more shady
  • You cant add the mail account to Thunderbird. This is pretty important for efficient use within tails.

Alternatives are ofc cock.li (very dogy and cringy) and riseup. I don't really trust cock.li and it lacks seriousness, and riseup needs invitations. Then there is tutamail but I couldn't create the mail account through tor.

Are there some good mail providers that can be used?

Without speaking to their security at all, the other two activist friendly providers I know of are shelter.is (signups closed, not sure since when) and disroot.org

Posteo seems pretty good. It's not free but you can pay pretty anonymously with cash by mail.
