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 ππΌ

Although depending on your configuration, it might be a battle against spammers.
Proton, no thanks to the Government of Putin supporters. Tuta could be the winner for me.
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.
Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.
From their page:
βDisroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!β
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 Belgian based mailfence.com for 4+ years on one of their paid plans.
I use eclipso.de. it's free with ads or i think 1β¬ a month premium
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.
Thanks for the list
I made the switch from gmail to Tuta. It's very good. Has desktop app as well as mobile. Highly recommend.
Runbox.com! I've been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.
Mailbox.org costs 2gb 1β¬ in light plan
What does "only web app" mean for posteo? Can you not use it with a standard mail app?
It just doesnβt have its own app. There is no custom, useless Posteo app.
Which nobody needs, since thereβs IMAP and SMTP, so you can use any normal Mail app.
Better than anything. I like using Thunderbird.
Been using Posteo since around 2015. They're great.
Same. Posteo is fantastic.
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
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.
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.
Proton
Same.
Getting a bit tired of the brigading against Proton. IMO the negativity is overblown and Proton is still a good option.
But do recommend everyone to get a custom domain so itβs easy to switch in case Iβm proven wrong and Proton does turn sour.
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 Iβm happy with that. If OVH starts going downhill Iβll move my domain somewhere else.
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...
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
