just tell me how is private if you do not control the server entirely.

I also use my own domain, but those around me who use Proton and Tuta are no idiots. You're not a kid that I need to explain to you how simple encryption works. People are not so important that some agent is watching their private emails. Proton and Tuta are not for selling your data for personalized advertising. What proof do you have that Proton and Tuta are not secure? Did they sell data? Are they not using encryption?

Are they not using encryption?
Proton emails only use E2EE between Proton users so their encryption is a big nothing burger. In any other case (which I assume is most of them), it’s using regular TLS and they can read your mails if they want to. Using a password for E2EE is not E2EE imo because you still need to send them the password in some actually secure way.

Very solid answer. Still anything is better than something from Google or Microsoft I hope we all can agree with that.
But yeah trying to get E2EE with a Proton or Tuta account DOES have the drawbacks you mentioned, mainly, who is your counterpart?

More private than using gmail like a normie. Nomads can't have email privacy? I have nowhere to put a permanent server, so I don't build one. Again, this is my stack. Once I write the guide, you'll see how I do it.
