I use Posteo myself. Similar to Mailbox, $1 a month and I haven’t had any issues.
I’ve been using mailbox.org for years and they’re great. I also like that they are following both German and EU rules/principles
+1 for mailbox.org. I’ve been with them for years
Also using for many years with custom domain. They also support Caldav/Carddav which is great for using with software like Thunderbird.
Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.
I use it to get mail from two other accounts.
I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.
Can you use a 3rd party own email client, like K9, mutt, thunderbird, etc? Do they support imap and/or pop3?
The latter for sure. I get email from two other accounts in my onmail. I’m not sure if they have imap themselves as I’ve never wanted to 😀
I signed up. There’s no way to use pop3 or imap.
“OnMail does not have support for using your account with other email applications, such as Apple Mail, Outlook, etc.”
How do you figure this is awesome?
I’m using Hey, and while there are some issues with the company (namely, the CEO enacting some shitty employee policies during the pandemic), their email service is great.
Particularly, I love their email allowlist. Whenever you get an email from a new sender for the first time, you have the option to allow or deny their emails from then on. I used to always have thousands of unread emails when I was on Gmail (most things just routing to an unused “Newsletter” folder), but now, pretty much every email I get is one that I actually want to read.
It’s a paid service, and tbh debatable whether or not it’s worth the price, but the screening feature singlehandedly makes it worthwhile for me.
I switched from Hey to Onmail because it’s basically Hey without the douchey CEO. Also I was an early onmail adopter so I have my first name for an email.
It has a free tier but I pay for it. I switched away from gmail because I wanted my email to be a service I’m the customer of that I pay for, rather than me being the product.
I wondered if folks were still using Hey. I use the iOS app Spark for managing my email, it has a similar “allow list” for new senders. Agreed it’s super helpful.
To be fair though, I’m also pretty reluctant to change emails. I switched everything over, and while it sounds like you can emulate the allowlist with other services, I reeeally don’t want to switch yet again :/
