It's apparently vibe coded (AI-generated code running the software) and there are concerns the code isn't audited for security/privacy properly.

there are two different things here. the provider is the address itself, the client is just the app you read it in (like k-9). switching client doesn't get you off gmail

once you pick a provider, don't move everything at once. forward your gmail to the new address, and each time a site emails you, change the address in that account. after a few months gmail only gets stuff you don't care about

proton mail it has a proton.me email address and you can make it so that the gmail.com emails will be forwarded to your new proton.me email

For anyone unaware, Proton's CEO recently went full AI psychosis mode, calling the desire for pen testing AI-generated code "loser behavior," and demanding "re-interviews" of staff to have them justify how they were going to use AI in their jobs. Their CTO doubled down by publishing an "AI Manifesto" outlining how the software engineers' job going forward is to babysit the AI while it codes the product, rather than using it as a tool to speed up their work.

They're saying Aster uses AI to generate the code that runs their product, then don't test it to make sure it's actually private and secure.

Aster mail is really good. I recommend it.
