What European email services do you use?

Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.

I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Thanks for the list

Runbox.com! I've been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.

If what you want is encrypted email, and see it in the form of a chat, take a look at ArcaneChat

I tried

  • Proton - too expensive
  • Tuta - too limited
  • infomaniak - i like it, but also limited

Created new domain name in cloudflare and got free account at zoho. It's free badic account, but with a symbolic gesture of 0.9 euro a month, you also get smtp, IMAP etc... and it plays very well with cloudflare!

I've been happy with Belgian based mailfence.com for 4+ years on one of their paid plans.

I use eclipso.de. it's free with ads or i think 1€ a month premium

I have an e-mail adres with my domain name, but my personal mail is still Gmail. However I'm looking into changing that. I'm thinking about proton mail but I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to do research into what's best long term.

mailbox.org has a web app, so no need for a client app.
And Posteo also supports POP3, IMAP and SMTP, so you can use every mail client with support for it.

Buy a domain and just use a ISP of your choice, don't lock in again with another domain not under your control.

Although depending on your configuration, it might be a battle against spammers.

Proton, no thanks to the Government of Putin supporters. Tuta could be the winner for me.

Switzerland supports putin?

Switzerland supports putin?

I dunno man, Wikipedia says otherwise.

The country has a history of armed neutralitygoing back to the Reformation; it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815[5][6] apart from the Sonderbund War(Switzerland civil war), joining the League of Nations in 1920[5] and did not join the United Nations until 2002.[7] It pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world.[8][9]

On February 28, 2022, Switzerland imposed economic sanctions on Russia and froze a significant amount of assets held by Russian civilians and companies as "punishment" for the invasion of Ukraine. Some described this as "a sharp deviation from the country's traditional neutrality."[10] According to Swiss president Ignazio Cassis in 2022 during a World Economic Forum speech, the laws of neutrality for Switzerland are based on The Hague agreement principles which include "no participation in wars; international cooperation but no membership in any military alliance; no provision of troops or weapons to warring parties and no granting of transition rights".[11

I switched over to Proton a few weeks ago, so far so good. They had my name available so no more weird convoluted email address anymore yay!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

I would highly recommend buying a domain name and use that for email, will be a lot less pain if you have to change provider again

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

I made the switch from gmail to Tuta. It's very good. Has desktop app as well as mobile. Highly recommend.
