So here’s the thing. My entire life is on Proton: email, calendar, documents, VPN, all my passwords, all my ID, all my important data.
My annual subscription is up at the end of January.
If they don’t oust Andy Yen by then, I’m out. The question is where?
Infomaniak seems to offer most of what Proton does but they also use AI.
What other options are there? I’m seeing people suggesting email alternatives. But I need a whole lot more than that.

I started using proton about five years ago. I was tempted by their password manager, etc., but then got nervous about all eggs in one basket.
Mailbox and runbox are my shortlist. Passwords are covered by keepassxc, need to pick a VPN. Bit of a deadline, my account renews next week...

Just checked runbox, as I'm not sure if I ever heard about them before.
They have a great comparison table on their website:

@fasnix @mikerspencer @clacksee I have been using Runbox for probably 11 years now. They were only few downtimes, they communicate well with their users and their helpdesk was always quick to help me fix things
