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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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!)

Zoho when Iast used was hot trash. I say this with the perspective that office is the gold standard, google docs does ok if you don't have a lot of weird demands and are ok with googles opinionated (ie everything changes every 3 seconds) behaviors. If gdocs are tier 2, Zoho is 4

Thanks for the list

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

[–] mendace@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

I felt like leaving gmail for proton was like moving from X to BS. So I bought my own domain via OVH in France and I’m happy with that. If OVH starts going downhill I’ll move my domain somewhere else.

[–] any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you're happy with OVH as it is, then I don't think it can get much worse.
I really wish OVH would get it together and be a serious competitor to other (US) cloud providers...

[–] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t like to say that I’m happy because it could always be improved, but I’m hosting websites with OVH for personal projects and clients since the 2000 era, so far it has been reliable and stable.

Do you have other serious competitors in mind ?

Are you aware of recent events? Leadership has shown themselves to be fascist apologists.

yes, one comment saying that republicans do one thing right means exactly what you wrote
