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

Mailo from France is another option

You don’t need a client app for mailbox.org? I use it just fine on any standard mail client.

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's what they mean, it doesn't have its own client.

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!

What was missing with tuta?

I switched over to Proton a few weeks ago, so far so good. They had my name available so no more weird convoluted email address anymore yay!

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I would highly recommend buying a domain name and use that for email, will be a lot less pain if you have to change provider again

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

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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 1 points 16 hours ago

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.

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

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Switzerland supports putin?

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

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

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

[–] treno_rosso@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] finalaccountforreal@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] calisti@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Same. Posteo is fantastic.

[–] 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.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 4 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 7 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.

Thanks for the list

[–] adbenitez@lemmy.ml 1 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] PurpleClouds@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours 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!)
