> The last two providers offered true end-to-end encryption

ProtonMail and Tutanota offer end-to-end encryption only when both the sender and recipient are using the same (i.e., ProtonMail->ProtonMail or Tutanota->Tutanota). If you’re emailing someone outside those or if you’re receiving emails from someone outside those, and you want encryption, you’d have to go to PGP (with its own complexities).

That's why I find their mandatory requirement of exposing their hosted emails only to their clients is such a bizarre take (if not pure bs).

I mean for god's sake just let me use IMAP/POP3.

You give me encryption at rest, safety and privacy in transit, and do not sell my data. You also offer to let me put up my GPG key on your admin portal so that I can easily read e2ee mails in your webmail.

Thank you, all that is very nice. Now get out of my way and do not try/pretend to be Signal and email at the same time.
