I am trying to choose an email provider, to use with my identifying accounts (like banks, gov ids, etc.). I feel that emails for such cases do not need to be end-to-end encrypted, since most information would already be present with banks, gov, etc.

So I was looking at non-E2EE emails - Mailbox and Posteo.

  • Between Posteo and Mailbox - which one do you use / is better in terms of privacy?

I noticed that both of these are hosted in Germany. With rise in popularity of right wing party, a bunch of stuff around chat control and verification, and even normal German government support for Israel, I was wondering whether I should look for other solutions hosted elsewhere. Or use Proton / Tuta instead?

Also, I am not sure if any of these companies support right-wing or Israel themselves?

Do you have any suggestions regarding this?

    Tried proton, and didn’t like that I needed a proxy to use it with my desktop mail client and no option beyond their app on mobile. Wound up moving to Purelymail. It’s a bit quirky, but super cheap, and I haven’t had any issues. I’ve even replicated Hotmail’s sweep feature with a Thunderbird container.

    For aliases, I use addy.io.
