Tuta is a end-to-end-encryption mail and calendar provider. They recently wrote a good blog-post about changing to european services.

Posteo has no custom domain support, deal breaker for me. As far as I understand they don't support IMAP in order to keep their encryption working, and I believe others like Proton do the same thing. Since their webapp is good and they even have an official client on Fdroid, I don't think it's a big deal

For people who want custom domain support, as well as SMTP/IMAP, but still euro-based, Nubo may be more what you're looking for if you're OK with dealing with a newer company.

Oh, wow. Didn't realize Tuta didn't work with IMAP/POP/SMTP. https://tuta.com/support/howto#imap

That's pretty cool, haven't heard of this service before. The website is a little light on technical details but I do like the co-op model.

Not sure what they're running for email, but for the other cloud services, I think they just run Nextcloud?

They do, yeah, and the email is RoundCube from memory? I have a personal Nextcloud and really can't fault them for using it in place of building Yet Another in-house drive solution - it's good software, bront.
