      Because non profits are not universally good. With a company the objective is clear.

      I don’t terribly care for proton or any other “secure and private” email. I think it is mostly snake oil.

          Email is insecure by default. These companies play on wishful thinking to make people feel better about using it.

            My admin friend told me that email is now secure and encrypted by default.

            Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc
