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!
Been using mailbox.org for a couple of years and I'm quite happy with it. Don't know what "needs client app" is supposed to mean though. If you don't want to use a mail client you can use the web interface. I've used maildroid on Android with it and when it was discontinued switched to Thunderbird, both work fine with mailbox.org.
There's one tiny minor annoyance, they somehow automatically create a new "archive" folder for every year that the web interface uses when you hit the archive button but in your mail client you gotta change the preferences manually once a year. Don't know if you can change but it's such a minor inconvenience I never bothered to check.
I've been happy with mailbox.org for years, too, yeah.
My only complaint is their WebDav experience is...just not very good. It's probably that I wanted a sync client and not a webdav client. But it wasn't quite standard (iirc) so getting everything configured was a pain...
Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.
From their page:
“Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!”
Not sure why Disroot isn't mentioned more often in this kind of discussion.
Apparently not all their services have full encryption (I think their forgejo is unencrypted and plain text?)
Been using Posteo since around 2015. They're great.
Same. Posteo is fantastic.
Buy a domain and just use a ISP of your choice, don't lock in again with another domain not under your control.
Proton, no thanks to the Government of Putin supporters. Tuta could be the winner for me.
Switzerland supports putin?
Switzerland supports putin?
I dunno man, Wikipedia says otherwise.
The country has a history of armed neutralitygoing back to the Reformation; it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815[5][6] apart from the Sonderbund War(Switzerland civil war), joining the League of Nations in 1920[5] and did not join the United Nations until 2002.[7] It pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world.[8][9]
On February 28, 2022, Switzerland imposed economic sanctions on Russia and froze a significant amount of assets held by Russian civilians and companies as "punishment" for the invasion of Ukraine. Some described this as "a sharp deviation from the country's traditional neutrality."[10] According to Swiss president Ignazio Cassis in 2022 during a World Economic Forum speech, the laws of neutrality for Switzerland are based on The Hague agreement principles which include "no participation in wars; international cooperation but no membership in any military alliance; no provision of troops or weapons to warring parties and no granting of transition rights".[11
Some of the takes in here are bonkers.
Anyone got experience with kMail?
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
Mailo from France is another option
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 1€ in light plan
What does "only web app" mean for posteo? Can you not use it with a standard mail app?
It just doesn’t have its own app. There is no custom, useless Posteo app.
Which nobody needs, since there’s IMAP and SMTP, so you can use any normal Mail app.
Better than anything. I like using Thunderbird.
I use eclipso.de. it's free with ads or i think 1€ a month premium
migadu.com
Few points, with them you are required to provide your own domain name. They supports basic CalDav but it's not their main focus.
Their FAQ is really well written, you should take a look.
You are right - I forgot about the domain name requirement, sorry.
No worries, I only wanted to add some information. It seems to be a good provider.
Really wanted Email.CZ to work but it sticks on verifying my phone for my account :(
Runbox.com! I've been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.
