Which Email Service Do You Think is Better?

11 comments

I haven't tried Posteo, but I can vouch for Mailbox being absolutely amazing. I've been with them for years and picked them at the start of my degoogling journey. I was really happy to have a single service that took so much of google off my phone.....email, contacts sync, calendar, online drive, etc etc.
- I can second this impression on a personal level and for two small business.
Don't forget Tuta and ProtonMail.
- Tuta >>> Proton
  I still don't like the proton CEO being a bootlicker
Used posteo for 4 years. Pretty good, rules engine is better than a lot of other ones. Support also answers fast.
A few time-out or slow moments probably because they have too many clients. Visible only during a minor part of my 4 years.
But some people didn’t receive my mail, which made me change mail service.
Eager to return to this thread when more people have had their say.
- I’m glad I’m not only one divided on this 😆
  
  Maybe the best answer is: Never rely on only a single company and spread out.
Personally, I prefer Posteo. It's cheap, it's simple, the pricing is flat, and it's fully open-source (and LibreJS compliant).
I’ve used both in the past but am now using neither. If being able to use a custom domain is a requirement then you really only have one option between these two: mailbox.org.
Neither of them truly “win” though and I wish people would stop it with these reductive questions.
I used mailbox.org for some time. They gradually removed features from their "basic" 1 euro plan until it was the same as posteo. So I moved to posteo.
