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 ๐๐ผ

I think it would also be worth to mention Zoho mail, they're mainly focused on the business side, but they do offer it for free as well up to some point.
Zoho also offers quite a few clones of Google products as a service too.
Quick edit: Forever free plan: Free up to 5 users (5GB/user). One free custom domain (in other words, bring your own domain if you have one!)
Zoho when Iast used was hot trash. I say this with the perspective that office is the gold standard, google docs does ok if you don't have a lot of weird demands and are ok with googles opinionated (ie everything changes every 3 seconds) behaviors. If gdocs are tier 2, Zoho is 4
I've been happy with Belgian based mailfence.com for 4+ years on one of their paid plans.
Anyone got experience with kMail?
I made an account and I might be too unexperienced with these things, but it seems I have to have my own domain? I can't use a basic one? If sb can show me how to deal with that I'd appreciate it
I have an e-mail adres with my domain name, but my personal mail is still Gmail. However I'm looking into changing that. I'm thinking about proton mail but I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to do research into what's best long term.
Mailo from France is another option
I use eclipso.de. it's free with ads or i think 1โฌ a month premium
Where is Startmail? It is the best e-mail service in the EU. It is not free, but you are not its bargaining chip so.
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it is an option. They are based in Netherlands and they have servers there which is cool.
Runbox.com! I've been using them for years after Lavabit was shutdown. Based out of Norway, affordable, and privacy focused.
Thanks for the list
Really wanted Email.CZ to work but it sticks on verifying my phone for my account :(
I'm happy with the Belgian mailfence
Just a quick notice about proton here. While it is great if you tend to forget your passwords be carefull beacuse you will lose all your mail history when you recover. I would reccomend something more casual for casual users.
