[–] Pattyice@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 years ago (1 child) good for them, love to see proton continuing there growth I pay for protonmail plus and definitely am happy to do so, for actual private email permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) I pay for the same but may go down to their free tier. After a purge of email and emails with larger attachments I'm down to less than 500mb. The only thing I dislike on the free tier is their automated signature to advertise proton. I hardly ever send emails though so not too much of an issue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) I do pay for SimpleLogin and will continue to do so. The only place my actual proton email address is exposed is on SimpleLogin. Every site I use on the internet has its own alias. That's 350+ sites currently. The only downside to a catchall, as I see it, is someone could just start creating any random email address knowing it will find your legitimate mailbox. Also sending as any of the aliases can be a pain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zarenki@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago Compared to simplelogin (or proton pass aliases, addy, firefox relay, etc), one other downside of a catchall is in associations across accounts. Registering with a @passmail.net address implies that I use Proton; registering with random-string@mydomain.org implies I have access to that domain. If 10 data breach leaks have exactly one account matching the latter pattern then that's a strong sign the domain isn't shared. If one breached site has my mailing address, my real identity can be tied to all the others. permalink fedilink source parent [+] PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Yeah.

I don't disagree but paying £40 a year to remove a signature seems excessive.
