This guy can be pretty harsh at times, but he's clearly very knowledgeable..

However, not all providers have a recent review, and his priorities are skewed heavily to the "paranoid" side of the tech world. For example, he considers being able to mail cash to a provider a significant pro. The overwhelming majority of users aren't mailing cash to pay for their email.

Overall, it's good info that's worth sharing.

Great article. I was looking for a way to start degoogling myself. It seems Disroot and Riseup are their favoured services and Riseup requires an invite.

Any recommendations for mail apps (on android) to use with disroot?

Ah, didn't see that page, thanks! I will give both their recommendations a try (K9 and Fair).

I use K9. It went through a rough patch a few years ago with the UI, but it's much better now. Mozilla is involved and K9 is in the process of becoming the Thunderbird app.
