FYI you can't use thunderbird with the proton free tier, only with premium. Switched recently and that was quite a surprise to me.

I'm a bit confused why there's a profit share indicator on the legend when seemingly none profit share. Otherwise, this is very cool!

Been using fastmail for over 10 years and it's fantastic. Two thing you should be aware though: 1st Australia is part of the five eyes, 2nd they have their servers (last I checked) in new york.

I've used mailfence's paid entry tier for several years now. Been happy with them.

They are on the "other excellent options" list, but wanted to give them a highlight.

I feel like I’m the only person here who doesn’t want encryption in email, I just want something that works with any client.

Has anyone heard about disroot.org? Is it a trustable service? Am considering switching there

This doesn't say anything about DMARC and DKIM. Ni should probably go figure that out.

If you want to de-google you should also look into murena.io as it also includes cloud storage and document editing.

Switzerland is still not part of the EU. Proton, Informaniak and Kolab should have the Swiss flag and not EU. It's not the same laws and they are not forced to apply GDPR to their policies.

This doesn’t really help. Which ones support custom domains? Have spam filters? Support “+” based addresses? Support DKIM/DMARC?

Not just “do the have an environmental pledge”

A free or very low cost service for hosting my catchall domain address

Can't beat the pricing of https://purelymail.com/. I've been using them for a couple years now.

I wish there was a tool that allowed you to see all the shit you have signed up under your google account so it would make it easier to move

I just recently switched from gmail to Mailfence with a custom domain, and I'm pretty happy thus far. I looked into it for a while trying to find the best option, and Mailfence turned out the best for me. Tuta was too locked down for me and Mailbox just rubbed me the wrong way. Mailbox has had a known major security issue with custom domains for literally 7 years now and still has yet to addressed it, their webmail is extremely slow and buggy (would switch to German randomly), they don't encrypt messages at rest (which to be fair isn't too important, but a lot of other services still do it), and I've seen multiple reports of their support being sub-par. I feel like they're probably still fine, but I just feel more confident in Mailfence.

I'm neurodiverse and I can't see this properly due to colours and layout. Can anyone give me a hand?

There's a lot of cheap mail-hotels, and a domain name is not costly either. I pay maybe 10 $ a year for both, and the mail is completely mine. I use Thunderbird as my mail-client on both windows, linux and android. Never had an issue, it just works.

I think that the biggest issue for a lot of people is, that they have to spend a little money on it. They buy shoes for 100 $ without thinking much about it, but private communication they often want for free...

There is also „poczta interia” which is email provider. They support third party email clients and it’s free. Their official app has ads and interface is in polish

where does hotmail (Microsoft) and Yahoo fit in?

Is there a european version of this?

self host is the best solution if you want total control of your emails

Fastmail is my favorite. I tried Proton but the android app is awful. Tuta seems decent, if a bit messy. But Fastmail got my money for 2 reasons:

1. Not Google or Microsoft
2. Email, contacts, calendar, notes, and files are all in a single app. Didn't realize I'd care about that until I tried it.
