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.
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).
I use it too, all the way from New Zealand. It’s ridiculously cheap if you keep your emails under 2 gigabytes.
