I don’t fully agree. Mails from companies ( password resets, ads, … ) aren’t necessarily passing by Google/m$ servers. So you’ve got that privacy. If you use an aliasing service ( which they also seem to offer ) then they can’t tie it directly to the same person/email.
So there definitely is some privacy gain, though if you’re emailing [email protected] and [email protected], the whole conversation is available to that bigtech firm as the email will be sent in plaintext.
I’d say it’s a step in the right direction.
I don’t know atomic mail, so I can’t vouch for them. I’m also not able to do proper research on it right now. So maybe somebody else can pitch in on that part.
Most of the sites you are talking about use mail services run by oligarchs and large corporations. I’m pretty sure 95% any mail you receive is stored and scanned by multiple governments.
And unless the mail is double encrypted on both sides it’s going to also be read.
