Proton Mail and Pagkugi

Hosted provider mail with privacy-focused service features.

At a glance

End-to-end encryption, its own calendar, aliases, a Bridge to a local workflow, and a polished provider ecosystem.

Where Pagkugi differs. The provider owns the service and the encryption model; Pagkugi keeps mail local, treats it as text, and owns no provider service.
