   Great user interface, and ease of use. Not sure about the privacy though.

   Very happy with its offers, it has a full suite of tools. Also the user experience is great. I am not sure about the privacy though. I am not confident enough to use it for sending and receiving confidential documents.

   🏁 Competitors: Mailfence, ProtonMail

   👍 Pros:    Huge storage space|Mobile app|Easy to use|Organisation

   👎 Cons:    Security|Privacy|Data protection and security

   Not good mail in terms of privacy and security

   I used to use Gmail until 4 months ago. I was really happy with this mail, it is easy to handle and, being a Google member, there are many tools available to use. However, I started to learn about the security and privacy offered by Google, which is NONE. We are selling our information and personal data to a technological giant and, many times, we are not even aware of it.

   This is why I deleted all but one of my Google-related accounts. As most people are still not aware of this, when working or contacting certain people for the first time, it is essential to do it through Gmail.

   Today, there are a few alternatives to solve this lack of privacy. After doing an intensive search and reading comments, I decided to get an account with Mailfence and, honestly, I'm very happy with their service. It's an easy to use email, with end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, calendar, document saving capabilities, ... I really recommend it for all those who are starting in the world of privacy and security. The best thing is that you can create a free account and, if you are happy with the service or need more storage space, you can switch to a paid account.

   I hope my opinion helps everyone, especially those who are thinking about whether it is really worth giving all our information in exchange for a free email.
