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 ππΌ

I made the switch from gmail to Tuta. It's very good. Has desktop app as well as mobile. Highly recommend.
Mailbox.org costs 2gb 1β¬ in light plan
Where is Startmail? It is the best e-mail service in the EU. It is not free, but you are not its bargaining chip so.
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it is an option. They are based in Netherlands and they have servers there which is cool.
What does "only web app" mean for posteo? Can you not use it with a standard mail app?
It just doesnβt have its own app. There is no custom, useless Posteo app.
Which nobody needs, since thereβs IMAP and SMTP, so you can use any normal Mail app.
Tuta has been GREAT, so far. Hard recommend.
I started used it a month ago. I like it so far and was east to setup with my domain. I also recommend this.
Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.
From their page:
βDisroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!β
I think it would also be worth to mention Zoho mail, they're mainly focused on the business side, but they do offer it for free as well up to some point.
Zoho also offers quite a few clones of Google products as a service too.
Quick edit: Forever free plan: Free up to 5 users (5GB/user). One free custom domain (in other words, bring your own domain if you have one!)
You donβt need a client app for mailbox.org? I use it just fine on any standard mail client.
That's what they mean, it doesn't have its own client.
Proton
Same.
Getting a bit tired of the brigading against Proton. IMO the negativity is overblown and Proton is still a good option.
But do recommend everyone to get a custom domain so itβs easy to switch in case Iβm proven wrong and Proton does turn sour.
Been using mailbox.org for a couple of years and I'm quite happy with it. Don't know what "needs client app" is supposed to mean though. If you don't want to use a mail client you can use the web interface. I've used maildroid on Android with it and when it was discontinued switched to Thunderbird, both work fine with mailbox.org.
There's one tiny minor annoyance, they somehow automatically create a new "archive" folder for every year that the web interface uses when you hit the archive button but in your mail client you gotta change the preferences manually once a year. Don't know if you can change but it's such a minor inconvenience I never bothered to check.
Oh nice hadn't heard of KMail and I'm trying to degoogle. Proton's fine but the owner is another tool so options are nice
Oh it's KDE even better
KMail is not a service by KDE, you probably confused it with KMail, the mail client by KDE. It's a service by Infomaniak.
It was also pretty hard to find information about it, searching for "ikmail" will get you there easier. I also found out it's technically not available in Canada yet, although I'm sure this shouldn't be too hard to circumvent.
