But I will be putting a thing or three on an encrypted storage drive. Bye.Īlso, do your trust Google Drive, or Dropbox? I don’t.

First of all I pay $5 a month now for another VPN service. Protonmail on Mac Mail (click pic to enlarge) That would be huge and attract a lot of server geeks like me.īridge lets you add ProtonMail into your email client like Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. Although, if you read their blog it says they may be giving away Bridge free soon. You pay $5 a month for an account………and before you tell me I’m crazy for paying for free email…………I pay iCloud extra money every month for storage for my gigantic email box and photos and stuff anyway.

Then I found out ProtonMail has a feature called “Bridge”. Logging in an account a few times a day is not really conducive to how I use a computer. At any rate I like a full blown email client open on my desktop. So I log back in my free ProtonMail account which is web based and while that’s fine I use my Mac OS Mail program as an email client, and sometimes Thunderbird. I got it because I was going to hire a lawyer for something once and the first thing he did was direct me to get a ProtonMail account so our communications would be private. I’ve had a ProtonMail account for years, but I almost never used it. So lets talk about the service I’m using…………. I even changed the email address on my “Contact Me” tab of this page. And getting emails from Amazon and all the other marketing crap can still come in through good ol’ dot Mac.īut if you are a human carrying out conversation with me, especially any kind of business or family business or especially communications with lawyers………….our email is going to be encrypted. I still have a few regular email accounts and I’ll still use them for various things. Now, don’t think I went into full Prepper or Patriot mode.

It was at that point I knew I needed to go dark on my personal communications. I had a fit when I found out that the Justice Department was “threat tagging” American citizens who dared to speak out at school board meetings.
