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 👍🏼

Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

Der österreichische schwurblerkanal auf1 verbreitet Mal wieder hochgefährliche Falschinformationen.

Wie kann es legal sein, die Einnahme von Bleichmittel zu empfehlen? Kann dem Russland finanzierten Dreck nicht endlich Mal jemand den Riegel vorschieben?

Poste hier keinen Link um den Scheiß nicht noch weiter zu verbreiten, aber man findet es leicht auf ihrer Website.

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.

In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.

If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:

1. ⁠Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)
2. Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy
3. Buy EU stuff to support EU economy
4. Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship
5. Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)

Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Everyone of course knows Fentimans and Fritz-kola. But there is also Cockta from Slovenia and Kofola from Czechia. Does anyone else knows of local EU coca-cola alternatives that we might want to explore? And of course, where we can buy them online:

Cockta

Kofola

It's just so dumb, but will help us to unite!
