It's not only about being closed source. They are also not in the EU, and they are a for-profit (an Aktiengesellschaft).
The only reason I don't use them is because to get the full experience (IMAP, especially) I need to pay them... Now I have to pay them, and I don't even get to enjoy the product. Thanks EU! :P
- protonmail 8y agoYou might not know this, but Switzerland actually pays more money into the EU than it gets from the EU, so not only are EU citizens like yourself not paying for this, you are actually receiving Swiss taxpayer money.
