I hope that over time Proton can replicate the Google ecosystem, but it isn't there yet. I get why they did this - those standards aren't encrypted - but that means you're stuck with a so-so mobile email app, a beta calendar app, and no great contacts solution. The big downside is that ProtonMail doesn't play nice with standards like CalDAV, CardDAV, etc, so you HAVE to use their apps. ProtonMail's paid options offer great features, and it's all encrypted at rest so your emails are about as protected as emails reasonably can be.Fastmail isn't explicitly privacy oriented (they're based in Australia where encryption is banned IIRC), but they promise not to scan your mails or serve ads and they have a great reputation for usability and reliability.If you're willing to pay a bit, you have a bunch of options: If you want something that's free, ProtonMail is one of your only not-adware choices. Email is a naturally insecure / not-private communication medium, so there's no silver bullet, but there are a lot of better-than-Google choices. I recommend checking out privacytools.io for a good run down of some privacy-oriented providers.
