Can't choose a secure email provider!
  • Thank you for pointing this out. I am no way expert but trying to study and understand. I then found other negative comments regarding the lack of DMARC, while on posteo website they say: "We have a DMARC "none" policy for Posteo email domain names, since DMARC is currently not recommended for mailbox providers. Outbound DMARC policies are primarily "best-suited for transactional emails and semi-transactional emails" (dmarc-org FAQ). At the present, DMARC has implications which do not meet customers' individual use of email." link

    The dmarc-org FAQ is interesting too. I understand that Posteo publishes thier DMARC record, if I am not wrong

    I would appreciate your opinion, you seem competent! Thank you

  • Hi All, still trying to figure out which email to go for. Thank you for the previous helpful posts. I am wondering which email providers have built-in encryption at rest ? I know that tutanota e protonmail (body and attachments for the latter) do it. It seems that Posteo does it, but needs to be activarted if I am not mistaken. Any other providers have it? Can't find the answer re: Mailbox Thank you

    Hi All, I would like to choose a new email provider, where security and privacy of the email is one of my main concerns (nothing to hide, but want to keep my data private, differently than what happens with the major providers). I have read maaany posts and websites guides but I am still confused. I am happy to pay a euro or so /month, so I had reduced my choice to Mailbox, Posteo, Mailfence. The problem is that each of them has some flows that don't let me go ahead with them! Mailbox: uses PGP, so not straightforward to send encrypted emails (unlike with tutanota) and to have encryption at rest. No mobile app. Alias reuse after 90 days Posteo: no spam folder. ALias reuse after 24 months Mailfence : has no encryption at rest , no mobile app. Not sure about alias reuse

    Have you got any comments on the above providers and /or other suggestions (except for Tutanota and Protonmail)? thank you, appreciated!
