If you are interested in switching from Gmail to EU provider and were hesitating because you weren’t sure how to approach it this post is just for you!
I am describing my path where I switched to Soverin email provider and talking some details about desktop and mobile clients.
Soverin is EU based provider with servers in Europe, high privacy and years of experience.
Whole post here: EU made email
You must log in or # to comment.
I switched to posteo. 1eur / month, does the job. Also use Thunderbird on mobile.
If people plan on switching my recommendation is not to do it all at once. Create the new email account and then slowly when you use accounts or buy something online point to the new account. It’s also a good idea since you start a fresh email account to not give your email to just any random websites or services. For this I use firefox email relay that I also pay 1$ per month.
Are there any free options among them? I don’t use email, and if I’d do, I think I’d rather self-host. I don’t care about
deliberatelydeliverability (sorry, phone typo), if I’d be in contact with the same peopleBut I’d appreciate having some decent mailbox to receive emails. I don’t mind if it’d be like 100 Mb or something, I think I’d keep Gmail just for spam social networks I don’t use anyway.
Or does any decent option means it’s paid, even if €1 a month.
Tuta is German and has a free tier.
Free means you’re the product.
Paid means that you might be the product and cheap means I expect you to be the product.
My recommendation would be to read the tos and look for their data gathering and analytics info before choosing a vendor.
What’s the current assessment of protonmail? It seems top tier to me.

I was using it and I moved away. A combination of needing to use their app instead of a normal email client, irritating number of screens and frustratingly slow loading of the webmail page and the ceo comments that could be seen as praising trump made me look at other providers. I went with malibox.org and have 0 regrets.
I saw Soverin too when searching, but I decided to go for mailo for 12 euros per year. Client on is not good and so I went with thunderbird. www.mailo.com
Are you an ad? Who the hell pays 12 euros for mail when the German mailbox is like a pound a month
Probably a typo, mailo is 12€ per year
Typo yes! its 12 per year! fixed thanks both. hi again blaze.
