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 👍🏼

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!
Fuck Proton and their Trumps-ass-kissing CEO though.
yes, one comment saying that republicans do one thing right means exactly what you wrote
Here! I found the American bot.
Proton is a perfectly good alternative. Encrypted and European based. Also one of the easiest User Experiences for those moving out of Gmail.
This kind of nonsense just creates confusion and leads to people sticking with Gmail/Google
Edit: the bots also vote. Yay
Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You’re the one sounding like a bot here.
Because the content of the comment has been addressed multiple times in threads like this. As with everything, the world is not black and white.
This thread and comment on Reddit do a better job on addressing the comment (sorry for linking for Reddit)

We know Trump for over a decade now. I don’t buy this apologist approach to excusing the shitty behavior of people in the spotlight. If you have half a brain you know by now what type of person Trump is and from a CEO I expect more then half a brain.
Regardless, Proton products are a better choice then Google.
@professionalspooner @verdigris @buyeuropean people are entitled to their opinion though. If they don’t want a product because of it’s CEO, that’s totally fine
Yeah but if they spread misinformation about the CEO, it can be called out
I don’t like what you’re saying. You must be a bot!
I’m sorry, but they are an even more closed ecosystem than even Gmail: one cannot use a regular email client with Proton
@exchange12rocks @professionalspooner @buyeuropean AFAIK with a paid subscription you can set up a bridge which would allow you to use it with Thunderbird etc
I didn’t know about the bridge, thank you!
Yes! That sucks.
From what I understand, that’s their way to do e2e encryption between proton emails. They have this bridge thing, which unfortunately you can’t use on free plans.
Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.
I agree that this is a problem, and that it is worse than Google.
But for me personally, putting it all on a scale I still think it is better than having your emails mined for ads targeting.
Thank you for the explanation - didn’t know about the bridge 👍
Thanks for the list
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.Runbox.com! I’ve been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.
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
If what you want is encrypted email, and see it in the form of a chat, take a look at ArcaneChat
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.
No Nazi supporters please
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!
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.
You don’t 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.
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:
“Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!”
