How Much Do You Reccomend Addy.io? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Given the recent Proton controversy, I imagine quite a few people are trying to jump ship on their services. I myself was already in the process of something similar for different reasons, and looking over the services I believe addy.io to be a better fit for me than simplelogin (or Eforw, which I haven't heard much about in general, but I have a membership with) And so I would like to ask the community here about their thoughts and experiences of and with addy.io

If you're able to explain their ownership structure and the like too, that would be appreciated, given that proton is a non-profit, which is an upside for it.

I'm very happy with it. Also used it for three years with no issue. Proton is probably more "private" but I hated not being able to use a third party mail application like Thunderbird. And using the bridge app was too annoying. Also, proton calendars sucked at the time. Mailbox is just caldav and I have no issues with external invites. Honestly, most people's risk vector is going to be fine to not be on Proton or the like. Mailbox will let you auto encrypt everything with PGP as well, but you have to give them your private key which to me, made it less secure so I just turned that off.
