Hey everyone,
I have a free protonmail account for years now and will be losing access to my (main) university mail soon. My proton mail is filling up and I will need a reliable personal mail address going forward.
What is the current status with privacy oriented mail providers in the EU? I am willing to pay for my mail service but ideally not too much, protonmail is 4€/mo which is a bit much I think.
What is the general opinion now after some months on the protonmail ceo? Will the Swiss privacy laws cause issues soon? What about tuta and mailbox.org? I think I want to switch to my own domain soon so supporting custom domains is definitely something I look for. Also the ability to use imap and not have a separate app would be good.
Last time I checked half a year ago I found mailbox to be the best compromise but I decided it’s not worth the hassle yet to deal with my mail provider.
Posteo really doesn’t get enough acknowledgment, in my opinion. They’re a great and secure email service that seems to fly under the radar for most people. I recommend checking them out.
I use it too, all the way from New Zealand. It’s ridiculously cheap if you keep your emails under 2 gigabytes.
More expensive than Tuta for a similar offering, but what’s nice with Posteo is you can have a really low lowest tier with €1/mo, if that’s all you need. 👍
I’m personally with Tuta.
The thing that put me off of Tuta is that you cannot use it with any other mail client (like Thunderbird, for example).
That would be nice indeed. They do have their own desktop client, but it should be possible to connect to their servers with some kind of add-on or something. That would be awesome.
