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 👍🏼

Anyone got experience with kMail?

I've been using them for a bit over a year now and don't have any complaints so far. If you don't care about the office suite, their email only package is €1.50/month for 5 users, which is hard to beat. You can use your own domain too. I like that their web/android clients have a proper conversation view that also shows your replies (like Gmail does). This has been missing from other providers I've tried (except Fastmail). Their android app is on F-Droid and open source which is nice. There were a few odd translations, like "Transfer" instead of "Forward", but I think they've fixed those since. It's not been long enough for me to comment on reliability or missing emails, but so far so good.

Thanks for this

I made an account and I might be too unexperienced with these things, but it seems I have to have my own domain? I can't use a basic one? If sb can show me how to deal with that I'd appreciate it

I signed up last week and did not need a domain. You may need to choose a personal account. You can pick from three different email endings, I went with @ikmail.com.

So far I really like it! Switched over my google drive to IK file storage.

Very convoluted, I have a kdrive acc and when I tried to make a personal account it said its not available in uk. Then when I tried to make a kmail account through their app it worked (after a bunch of buggy mess) but the new kmail acc won't be synced to the kdrive either.
