Proton Mail
🇨🇭EU Companyby Proton · Founded 2014
Proton Mail is an end-to-end encrypted email service founded in 2013 at CERN by scientists Andy Yen, Jason Stockman, and Wei Sun. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, it uses zero-access encryption — meaning Proton itself cannot read your emails. All infrastructure is located in Switzerland (including a former military bunker under 1,000 meters of granite). Proton Mail is open source, independently audited, and serves 100+ million users across Proton's ecosystem.

“Proton for Privacy”
I switched from Gmail mainly because I didn’t want my email scanned for ads and data collection anymore. Privacy matters more for me these days. Importing my old emails wasn’t too bad and the interface feels clean and uncluttered.
