Posteo here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Onet, a Polish news website. I used it for my first ever e-mail and since then I have been using it kind of out of habit. Never felt a need to switch to something more robust.

Of course I have a gmail account too, but I use it mostly for things like logins and synchronization rather than for correspondence.

Tutmail for me. 15 email addresses included..

Switched to Posteo about a decade ago

I created an account with Tuta. But I haven't found time for the actual migration

There's a world outside the US/European false dichotomy.

I've been with Fastmail since 2019 and you couldn't pay me to go elsewhere. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Not everyone wants their backdoors to be legally authorized. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Australian here happy with Runbox, from an european country that respects privacy, unlike the 5 eyes. Unfortunately Australia is not a good country to get a cloud service.

Proton, but I donโ€™t think they can justify their monthly price for ยซpremiumยป features.

[โ€“] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Same here, some features kinda pointless. Like why would I ever need 10 email addresses on one account?

[โ€“] ndupont@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

I stick to my state owned ISP

Moved away from Proton since their CEO couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Migrated to migadu.com, works nicely.

Switched to Tuta and bought a domain. It's been great so far. I can create an email alias with this domain for each service I use. Also have a proton free account but not sure yet what I will use it for (it was for testing before). I also created a disroot account since I really like what they are doing.

I've been using mailbox.org since a while. Reliable and 12โ‚ฌ per year, can't really complain. Easy domain name too

[โ€“] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The reason I didn't go with mailbox is that they recycle your email address after 90 days. So if you decide to leave or didn't pay for 30 days, 3 months lager someone can make a new emailaddress under your old name.

[โ€“] Blaze 1 points 5 days ago

Hm, good point

Ive switched to Proton. Ofc only found out about their CEO after switching, but the have my trust for one. Also really enjoying their other services (password manager, VPN, Drive). Switched to a Duo subscription together with my brother. Quite content so far

I use posteo.de, and are very happy with it.

[โ€“] baerd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I've been using it for a couple of years now, quite happy with it too.

I switched to Posteo too and it's perfect for my needs.

Mailbox.org for me

I've migrated some stuff but lots still to update.

I'm on the lowest tier and only have the 3 aliases, I think it may be worth using multiple aliases from what I keep reading online, so may need to upgrade tier before I migrate more accounts.

[โ€“] noxypaws@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago

Tuta has been great.

Proton choked down my chargeback after they said some unwarranted nice things about US republicans.

[โ€“] borusa@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

I've had a proton account since 2016 but be er really used it much. I am now using it as my main account and have mothballed Gmail but will eventually delete Google altogether.
