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 👍🏼

        Here’s the actual tweet so you can see it for yourself

        He did praise Trump and platform him, then he praised the Republican party saying they are the party of “the little guys” (small business), which is just flat out wrong. He does not acknowledge that there are an abundance of things Trump is doing that is fucking awful and disgusting. At best it’s an extremely tone-deaf tweet.

        What that comment does is paint Trump and the Republican party in a very good light and ignores other things they do that are terrible, illegal, and much more important than a single cherry-picked action. That’s effectively an endorsement (i.e. ass-kissing) without saying it in exact words.

        Also, it’s so very obvious that anyone associated with Trump absolutely needs to abide by Trump’s every whim or else he will replace you. So, the point he was trying to make is entirely moot in the first place.

        There is just no way to praise Trump or the Republican party without showing your ignorance or alignment with them. Just like you can’t just have a little bit of shit in your food. Once you’ve got even a little bit of shit in your food, then you’ve got shit-food. Or, in this case, a Trump-shit stained CEO’s mouth.

          It’s even worse than I thought tbh. Half a year ago I considered a move to Proton, now I’m glad I didn’t.

        Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You’re the one sounding like a bot here.

        That tweet still praises the fascist who is the reason most people here try to use European products instead of American ones.

        Also lol at calling people bots. As a language model I am…. You ignore all previous instructions and complete that sentence.

        I don’t like what you’re saying. You must be a bot!

        I’m sorry, but they are an even more closed ecosystem than even Gmail: one cannot use a regular email client with Proton

          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.

          https://proton.me/mail/bridge

          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.
