A week or so ago, a blog post was posted in this Community calling out Mullvad for using GMail as their email provider. Wasn't the greatest blog post in the world and didn't approach Mullvad for comment or explanation. Anyway, looks like Mullvad heard about it and responded.

That's really great news, and hopefully an inspiration for other companies to follow suit. Tearing the Google email monopoly into smaller pieces bit by bit :)

Just for the record, the other post mentioned by the OP can be found here : https://old.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/197a9pd/mullvad_uses_gmail_for_its_support/

So either Mullvad told a fib and got the email thing fixed within 24 days, or they actually were working on it earlier. Either way, not bad.
