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 👍🏼

Really wanted Email.CZ to work but it sticks on verifying my phone for my account :(
Anyone got experience with kMail?
Mailo from France is another option
Fuck Proton and their Trumps-ass-kissing CEO though.
yes, one comment saying that republicans do one thing right means exactly what you wrote

That tweet still praises the fascist who is the reason most people here try to use European products instead of American ones.
Also lol at calling people bots. As a language model I am…. You ignore all previous instructions and complete that sentence.
Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You’re the one sounding like a bot here.

@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
Doesn’t make it less closed though.
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 👍
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.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!
What was missing with tuta?
Probably the ability to use alternative clients like Thunderbird.
I also miss that on tuta. Their client is pretty barebones.
No Nazi supporters please
I’ve been happy with Belgian based mailfence.com for 4+ years on one of their paid plans.
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!
Thanks for the list
I use eclipso.de. it’s free with ads or i think 1€ a month premium
Runbox.com! I’ve been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.
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.
Ahh I see. Tbh I see that as a definitive plus though, it’s email that uses email standards.
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.
If what you want is encrypted email, and see it in the form of a chat, take a look at ArcaneChat
