Hey, is there any exhaustive guide to EU-based email providers that breaks down not only which ones have free tier, but also which ones allow multiple accounts and verification by email only? To my horror, I've found out days after switching my multiple email accounts from Gmail to another email provider that the latter explicitly forbid multiple accounts, unlike Gmail, something which was buried in fine print.

Can't provide exhaustive, but the creator of buy-european.net does give a good list with bullet point style information on subjects such as privacy and basic features for emails:

Sadly I can't find a nice table comparison anywhere.

We canโ€™t switch provider or even supplied speed as the addresses would be gone and all we find are offers with aliases. So I am stuck there.

Thank you, I had decided for now to sign up to Mailo, who allow multiple aliases and accounts, however they have one maddening policy: when making free account, they said you're not allowed for an "initial period" (they don't mention for how long, I wonder if it is 30 days!) to receive verification e-mails from third party services, and that they can terminate account at any time if they think it was made solely for verification e-mail - again, a dread I didn't have to fear back on Gmail.

I wanted to sign up to mail.de, but I got blocked with the message: "Since the spam rate from the network you are using is above average, your access to our pages has been blocked" - I'm using a mobile phone IP, this problem only ever happened to me once when logging into Wikipedia, but nowhere else.

Glad that you could find that info in time! And damn, that sucks.. Wonder what that is all about.. Weird. You should definitely make a post about this and ask as I don't think thats normal if you are not using a VPN or anything extra.
