I use GoogleStreetMap for GPS, I've replaced Gmail with StartMail and instead of Google Calendar I use TimeTree for now. Might need to find a real privacy related calendar, anyone suggestions?

Why should you have multiple free accounts?

Good job! I'm wondering what the statistics are from StartMail their sale, they also having a discount right now. Good to see that incredible increase of 148%!

That's why I am no longer using their services like Gmail and Google Maps. I jumped tot alternatives, much recommended.

I've stepped away from Microsoft. Not my favourite company regarding mailing and chatting.

Tuta's discount is tempting, but I've also seen StartMail doing 50% off lately. Definitely feels like a good time to test a couple out, especially if you care more about UX than just encryption.
