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

It might not be for everyone but you could grab a domain + webspace for like 2€/month.

I switched from gmail to gmx mail. I like it very much.

"Needs client app" is a funny way of saying it "supports open protocols as first class citizens".

Anyone got experience with kMail?

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

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

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

[–] petaqui@lemmings.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Mailo from France is another option

Fuck Proton and their Trumps-ass-kissing CEO though.

mailbox.org has a web app, so no need for a client app.
And Posteo also supports POP3, IMAP and SMTP, so you can use every mail client with support for it.

[–] unsettlinglymoist@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in the US and wanted to switch from Gmail to a privacy focused European email provider, so I paid for a year of Posteo and so far I've been really happy with it. The service is excellent, it's inexpensive and their ethics/values as an organization are wonderful.

[–] GreatBlue@infosec.pub 2 points 4 hours ago

Back then I was deciding between Posteo and mailbox.
I choose mailbox because, at least at the time, they had unlimited calendars and Posteo only offered 3 free ones.
Also the website of mailbox seemed more respectable / unspectacular / boring than Posteo. Posteos website got me some typical start-up vibes, means hoping for fast growth and quick exit. But there I guess I was wrong.

[–] GingerBear@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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!

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

What was missing with tuta?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 5 points 7 hours ago

Probably the ability to use alternative clients like Thunderbird.

I also miss that on tuta. Their client is pretty barebones.

Oh nice hadn't heard of KMail and I'm trying to degoogle. Proton's fine but the owner is another tool so options are nice

Oh it's KDE even better

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 30 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

KMail is not a service by KDE, you probably confused it with KMail, the mail client by KDE. It's a service by Infomaniak.

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 13 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] rooroo@feddit.org 21 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

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