European alternatives to Google's Gmail
European alternatives to Google's Gmail

What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Fuck Proton and their Trumps-ass-kissing CEO though.

yes, one comment saying that republicans do one thing right means exactly what you wrote

It's one more than I'd like.

Here! I found the American bot.
Proton is a perfectly good alternative. Encrypted and European based. Also one of the easiest User Experiences for those moving out of Gmail.
This kind of nonsense just creates confusion and leads to people sticking with Gmail/Google
Edit: the bots also vote. Yay

Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You're the one sounding like a bot here.
-
Because the content of the comment has been addressed multiple times in threads like this. As with everything, the world is not black and white.
This thread and comment on Reddit do a better job on addressing the comment (sorry for linking for Reddit)

We know Trump for over a decade now. I don't buy this apologist approach to excusing the shitty behavior of people in the spotlight. If you have half a brain you know by now what type of person Trump is and from a CEO I expect more then half a brain.
Regardless, Proton products are a better choice then Google.
-
@professionalspooner @verdigris @buyeuropean people are entitled to their opinion though. If they don't want a product because of it's CEO, that's totally fine
-
E.g.: see Tesla nowadays.
-
Yeah but if they spread misinformation about the CEO, it can be called out

Why not explain yourself here? I don't want to give Spez the traffic
-
I am sorry. I would never make it justice to the whole discussion.
Here's a troddit link which I just learned that exists andis open source.
I hope that's helpful.

Explain please.
-
I don’t like what you’re saying. You must be a bot!
-
Is "bot" now the new "NPC" for morons?
-
I'm sorry, but they are an even more closed ecosystem than even Gmail: one cannot use a regular email client with Proton
-
@exchange12rocks @professionalspooner @buyeuropean AFAIK with a paid subscription you can set up a bridge which would allow you to use it with Thunderbird etc
-
I didn't know about the bridge, thank you!
-
-
Yes! That sucks.
From what I understand, that's their way to do e2e encryption between proton emails. They have this bridge thing, which unfortunately you can't use on free plans.
Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.
I agree that this is a problem, and that it is worse than Google.
But for me personally, putting it all on a scale I still think it is better than having your emails mined for ads targeting.
-
Thank you for the explanation - didn't know about the bridge 👍

You're the only bot here bud
