What does anyone think of Disroot?

As for me I got a share of doubts about these secure email services hosted in Five Eyes countries, but maybe some are run by reliable collectives of privacy-minded IT people?

Yes, Tutanota is also fine and privacy oriented (German product)

I'm not sure about that. While I have an account in tutanota, not being able to access my mails from my mail client is really annoying.

Really though, why are email providers thinking that POP3 and IMAP are "insecure"?

I don't know, no problems here. Maybe asking the support of your mail client can give you the answer. Respect the other https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/51552/how-insecure-is-pop-imap-smtp

My mail client is SeaMonkey's Mail and Newsgroups, and it only supports POP3 and IMAP for mail retrieval. Both protocols aren't insecure by themselves.

According to this FAQ Tutanota has no plans to support IMAP, because they "could not guarantee end-to-end encryption". That's what I'm wondering about. If they are confident that the matured POP3 and IMAP protocols are insecure, why not improve on those open standards instead of creating a proprietary one?
