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 πŸ‘πŸΌ

Tuta has been GREAT, so far. Hard recommend.

I started used it a month ago. I like it so far and was east to setup with my domain. I also recommend this.

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

Some of the takes in here are bonkers.

Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.

https://disroot.org/en

From their page:

β€œDisroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.

No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!”

[–] jinwk00@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Apparently not all their services have full encryption (I think their forgejo is unencrypted and plain text?)

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

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Although depending on your configuration, it might be a battle against spammers.

Been using Posteo since around 2015. They're great.

[–] calisti@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Same. Posteo is fantastic.

[–] petaqui@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago

Mailo from France is another option

[–] allo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Really wanted Email.CZ to work but it sticks on verifying my phone for my account :(

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

[–] treno_rosso@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

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

Mailbox.org costs 2gb 1€ in light plan

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] calisti@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Better than anything. I like using Thunderbird.

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.

[–] exchange12rocks@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You are right - I forgot about the domain name requirement, sorry.

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

[–] picklejar@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

I've been happy with Belgian based mailfence.com for 4+ years on one of their paid plans.

[–] EuropeanMade@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

I have an e-mail adres with my domain name, but my personal mail is still Gmail. However I'm looking into changing that. I'm thinking about proton mail but I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to do research into what's best long term.

[–] PurpleClouds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

the 404 on that link says otherwise.

[–] zutto@lemmy.fedi.zutto.fi 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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!)

Thanks for the list

[–] adbenitez@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If what you want is encrypted email, and see it in the form of a chat, take a look at ArcaneChat

Where is Startmail? It is the best e-mail service in the EU. It is not free, but you are not its bargaining chip so.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't say it's the best, but it is an option. They are based in Netherlands and they have servers there which is cool.
