Proton, but I donโ€™t think they can justify their monthly price for ยซpremiumยป features.

[-] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Same here, some features kinda pointless. Like why would I ever need 10 email addresses on one account?

[-] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

I created an account with Tuta. But I haven't found time for the actual migration

Same here. Convinced my dad to do the same. Been using is for a while now though.

There's a world outside the US/European false dichotomy.

I've been with Fastmail since 2019 and you couldn't pay me to go elsewhere. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Australian here happy with Runbox, from an european country that respects privacy, unlike the 5 eyes. Unfortunately Australia is not a good country to get a cloud service.

Infomaniak, such a great service for such a low price. Bought my own domain via them and the email hosting is free / just links with their plus plan.

1TB drive for 2 euros a month is a steal

Switched to Proton Duo just before the US shitshow started, still happy I did. So far mainly using it for mail, drive and calender, will be setting up VPN soon as well.

Topic/question that I don't see commented on often: how are you guys finding the telling other people (verbally, out loud) about your email?

I feel I could tell someone "at proton dot com" without having to spell it but in the UK I feel any way I try to pronounce tuta is going to result in me having to say "at tango uniform tango alpha dot com" or otherwise people will misunderstand and send me about a million messages at tutta, toota, Tuter, twitter, doota, or even more creative spellings.

I bought a domain name and set it up on tuta to get an email address that I like. It was super easy to setup, tuta had created a video tutorial that showed how to setup a custom domain step by step.

My provider (Onet) is a known Polish news outlet so I donโ€™t have such issues at home, but whenever Iโ€™m abroad I just spell it out: โ€œoh-en-ee-teeโ€.

I used to be on Outlook. Two weeks ago I made accounts on Proton and Tuta, but didnโ€˜t like the missing IMAP and SMTP on the free plans.

I then also made an account on web.de, but they donโ€˜t support the plus notation for dynamic addresses (myname+service@email.com). So in the end I payed the 12โ‚ฌ for a year of mailbox.org and have been extremely happy with it!

Switched to Posteo about a decade ago

[-] przemek@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Onet, a Polish news website. I used it for my first ever e-mail and since then I have been using it kind of out of habit. Never felt a need to switch to something more robust.

Of course I have a gmail account too, but I use it mostly for things like logins and synchronization rather than for correspondence.

I've been using KolabNow for these past few years. Swiss-based with a focus on privacy. No issues, really like it. I also have a personal e-mail address with my name, but that one I have with a local domain registrar.

[-] ndupont@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I stick to my state owned ISP

[-] Shmandom@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Off Gandi since they got bought and jacked up all prices a couple years ago. Galae.net (France) is working well.

[-] ueiqkkwhuwjw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Cool to hear someone is using galae. I have considered them in the past. How is email deliverability?

[-] Shmandom@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

So far so good! No correspondent has reported mail reaching their junk folder so far ๐Ÿคž
