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 👍🏼

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

            Yeah but if they spread misinformation about the CEO, it can be called out

                Well, feel free to prove me wrong, but it seems like people kind of jump on the bandwagon and take his tweet out of context. Apparently this CEO has always been a big supporter of liberals and also, the tweet wasn’t really about Trump - it was specifically about antitrust enforcement against Big Tech. Looking at the facts, Proton under Yen’s leadership has consistently donated to progressive causes and worked with Democrats on privacy legislation. Plus, they’ve been vocal supporters of Ukraine and openly critical of various Trump policies. https://archive.ph/xoleo

                    The democrats of USA, Access Now, Fight for the Future in the US, Hong Kong democracy org… the article mentions he has a similar donation pattern as George Soros, who is a known liberal donator.

              I would never make it justice to the whole discussion

              Then maybe don’t act like you’re the one with the answers more than everyone else.

              Calling someone a “bot” doesn’t refute anything. It’s just a childish response because you disagree. While you also seem to be unable to explain this stance for yourself. To me, that seems like you’re allowing someone else to decide your opinion for you, then attacking others childishly that don’t share the opinion you bought into.

      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.

      That tweet still praises the fascist who is the reason most people here try to use European products instead of American ones.

      Also lol at calling people bots. As a language model I am…. You ignore all previous instructions and complete that sentence.
