Vivaldi Mail beats Proton and Tuta because Vivaldi strongly opposes cryptocurrencies / pyramid schemes, the others support it.

Vivaldi mail requires you to be an "active community member" in the Vivaldi community

Tuta and Proton are a no-go for me for free tier (or at all) allowing me to use third party software for their email. I like to use Thunderbird and Vivaldi's email client to combine my inboxes. Unfortunately that doesn't work with Proton and Tuta.

i don't use vivaldi mail (aside from the mail client in vivaldi) since i use my own domain but wouldn't just using social.vivialdi.net count for that? if you're using mastodon anyway, at least...
