European email providers

https://european-alternatives.eu/cat...mail-providers
Have you been using one of them? I have web.de, GMX from the EU.

I used to have an account with inbox.eu. It was cheap, had a 100GB mailbox and worked well. I was evaluating it as an alternative to my Fastmail account. The problem was that most major email providers in the USA automatically classified any mail I sent from it (regardless of the contents and the fact it passed all of their spam checks) as spam because they got so little traffic from that domain.

I have a gmx.com account (US based) and knew about gmx.net, but never heard of gmx.at before. That seems to get remapped to gmx.net.

The only one on that list I hadn't heard of before was Raidboxes Emails. Seems overpriced.

I had considered switching to posteo but was uncomfortable with the fact they didn't have a spam folder.

I'm a fan of several of them on that list -- not in any particular order: mailbox.org, Posteo, Proton, Tutanota, StartMail, and Mailfence. They have proven to be pretty solid, reliable, trustworthy providers in my experience. YMMV but check out their features to see if they match your needs.

Proton is having a black friday special right now, and StartMail tends to run 40-50% specials regularly (for the first year).

Thanks for the list. I'll take a look.

I've tried GMX and had a god-awful experience where, first, it refused to log in, and no matter what I tried, including tracking down the parent company, including telephoning, everyone claimed they knew nothing about GMX. Then a further problem when I tried to reinstate it, and it clearly said the handle was available, but when I went through the sign-up process, it claimed it was taken.

Of the other providers on the list, I'm likely to give Mailfence a try.

The list of EU-based email providers on that list is incomplete though, and seems to focus mainly on privacy-orientated providers. There's quite a few European email providers missing in the list on that site.
