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

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

I tried posteo and eclipso before settling on mailbox.org.

Coming from gmail.

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

yeah good luck getting through all the spam filtering, and dealing with spam.

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

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'm using Soverin myself. Switched a few months back and they've been great so far

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.

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.

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

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rooroo@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ahh I see. Tbh I see that as a definitive plus though, it’s email that uses email standards.

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, it works amazing with K-9 mail. And the 2GB is plenty for an email (IMO), which is actually 1€/per month (at least for me, don't know if it's dependent on your location?).

No Nazi supporters please

[–] erran_morad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm happy with the Belgian mailfence

[–] matelt@feddit.uk 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 19 points 3 days 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
