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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

  • only web app
  • needs client app

What's up with that misleading information as if there's something missing? This just means you can use any mail application you want with the standard mail protocols IMAP and POP3. If a mail provider is offering an app themselves that's fine but that's nothing a mail provider HAS to offer. What's much more important is how they handle you data, how good they filter out spam, how big you mailbox can be, cost, sustainability etc. But the app is the least important thing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tutanota uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with email clients, so an app is needed. Perhaps "needs client app" means that.

Buy a domain and just use a ISP of your choice, don't lock in again with another domain not under your control.

https://www.gmx.com/ German Restrictions: 50MB attachments. Require an alternate email to sign up.

Proton, no thanks to the Government of Putin supporters. Tuta could be the winner for me.

What does "only web app" mean for posteo? Can you not use it with a standard mail app?

I tried posteo and eclipso before settling on mailbox.org.

Coming from gmail.

[โ€“] tuxer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I am using Proton for many years and I can not be happier. They are adding features and new services every month. Fully recommend . If you want to try the email plus you can use my referral: https://pr.tn/ref/W467S6SS1VP0

Cheers

I made the switch from gmail to Tuta. It's very good. Has desktop app as well as mobile. Highly recommend.

Mailbox.org costs 2gb 1โ‚ฌ in light plan

I'm happy with the Belgian mailfence

[โ€“] treno_rosso@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I use eclipso.de. it's free with ads or i think 1โ‚ฌ a month premium

[โ€“] bluelander@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Runbox.com! I've been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.

[โ€“] phx@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm using Soverin myself. Switched a few months back and they've been great so far

[โ€“] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Don't hear Soverin get recommended much these days. Been around for a while tho. Your ever heard of CodaMail?

I think it would also be worth to mention Zoho mail, they're mainly focused on the business side, but they do offer it for free as well up to some point.

Zoho also offers quite a few clones of Google products as a service too.

Quick edit: Forever free plan: Free up to 5 users (5GB/user). One free custom domain (in other words, bring your own domain if you have one!)
