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 👍🏼

    Here! I found the American bot.

    Proton is a perfectly good alternative. Encrypted and European based. Also one of the easiest User Experiences for those moving out of Gmail.

    This kind of nonsense just creates confusion and leads to people sticking with Gmail/Google

    Edit: the bots also vote. Yay

      Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You’re the one sounding like a bot here.

      I don’t like what you’re saying. You must be a bot!

      I’m sorry, but they are an even more closed ecosystem than even Gmail: one cannot use a regular email client with Proton

        Yes! That sucks.

        From what I understand, that’s their way to do e2e encryption between proton emails. They have this bridge thing, which unfortunately you can’t use on free plans.

        Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.

        I agree that this is a problem, and that it is worse than Google.

        But for me personally, putting it all on a scale I still think it is better than having your emails mined for ads targeting.
