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 ๐๐ผ

Cheers
ProtonMail. Despite the boss likely being a conservative dogebag, their company is headquartered in Switzerland. That is the first big thing I check for my privacy and banking services. It is harder for a service to be poisoned by Yarvin's Cabal if the service's HQ is located in a democratic country, especially one famed for their privacy.
Why is Kmail in there?
Kmail is a client: it can't host.

https://www.gmx.com/ German Restrictions: 50MB attachments. Require an alternate email to sign up.
I tried posteo and eclipso before settling on mailbox.org.
Coming from gmail.
I'm using Soverin myself. Switched a few months back and they've been great so far
Don't hear Soverin get recommended much these days. Been around for a while tho. Your ever heard of CodaMail?
Just a quick notice about proton here. While it is great if you tend to forget your passwords be carefull beacuse you will lose all your mail history when you recover. I would reccomend something more casual for casual users.
If you use Proton and forget your passwords, it's okay because the Proton CEO openly praised a US president who has a history of breaking privacy laws and is actively antagonizing allies. With that moral compass running Proton, your privacy and security might be compromised at a later date.
That second sentence could do with a disambiguating comma...
It might not be for everyone but you could grab a domain + webspace for like 2โฌ/month.
yeah good luck getting through all the spam filtering, and dealing with spam.
"Needs client app" is a funny way of saying it "supports open protocols as first class citizens".
Yeah, what's up with that? IMAP, SMTP and CardDAV to good for some people or what?
I'm happy with the Belgian mailfence
I switched from gmail to gmx mail. I like it very much.
Which belongs to 1&1, which belongs to United Internet, which belongs to Ralph Dommermuth, who is one of the 300 richest people in the world. Also GMX often is the target of spam and phishing. And if you want to access the web login you have to go through a shitty news page. Still better than gmail, but there are far superior alternatives. Sincerely, a former web.de user (which is the same shit with a different name).
I don't know what fishy websites you were on if spam and phishing was a problem for you. It wasn't a problem for me at gmail, outlook or hotmail, so I doubt it will be a problem at gmx, also will not be using web login. Glad you found good email that suits you the best. Have a good day!
