An excellent technical guide titled "The Technical Realities of Email Privacy" and provided by @ivpn [1], nicely examines the core issues threatening email privacy.
> The specific risks associated with email’s architecture will vary between individuals and their communication patterns. People handling sensitive data should consider using alternative communication methods. However, even when using email, steps like adopting end-to-end encryption and carefully choosing a privacy-focused email provider are crucial.
For all practical purposes, there is sufficient privacy and security, with end-to-end and zero-access encryption, when messages are exchanged only between Proton Mail accounts [2] or only between Tuta accounts [3]. This is similar to using WhatsApp and better than using Telegram Messenger. Please note that I am not comparing with Signal Messenger here.
Both Proton Mail and Tuta provide an option for sending a secure and end-to-end encrypted email, through Password-protected email, to someone who is not using Proton Mail or Tuta respectively. This is not possible if I want to send a message from WhatsApp to Telegram Messenger.

Signal just upped the privacy game—imagine cloud backups that are end-to-end encrypted and only accessible with a 64-character key you control. Curious how this secret safeguard works?

19 EU countries propose monitoring communications in the EU, but what would that mean for privacy?
Led by Denmark, several EU countries propose monitoring online communication such as private emails and social media messages to combat child abuse.
The so-called “Chat Control” proposal lacks majority support in the EU and faces strong criticism from some EU member states.

The upcoming chat control regulations in Europe threaten our privacy and freedom of expression. These measures could lead to mass surveillance, infringing on our fundamental rights and creating a chilling effect on open dialogue.
In contrast, using XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) and monocles chat offers a secure alternative. XMPP is decentralized, giving users control over their data, while monocles chat ensures end-to-end encryption for confidential conversations.
Let’s prioritize security and freedom in our communications! Choose platforms that protect your rights.
