I moved all my photos, videos and emails to Proton.

[โ€“] janbaumy@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

I used to be on Outlook. Two weeks ago I made accounts on Proton and Tuta, but didnโ€˜t like the missing IMAP and SMTP on the free plans.

I then also made an account on web.de, but they donโ€˜t support the plus notation for dynamic addresses (myname+service@email.com). So in the end I payed the 12โ‚ฌ for a year of mailbox.org and have been extremely happy with it!

Topic/question that I don't see commented on often: how are you guys finding the telling other people (verbally, out loud) about your email?

I feel I could tell someone "at proton dot com" without having to spell it but in the UK I feel any way I try to pronounce tuta is going to result in me having to say "at tango uniform tango alpha dot com" or otherwise people will misunderstand and send me about a million messages at tutta, toota, Tuter, twitter, doota, or even more creative spellings.

I bought a domain name and set it up on tuta to get an email address that I like. It was super easy to setup, tuta had created a video tutorial that showed how to setup a custom domain step by step.

You can also change your email address to @pm.me which might be easier to say?

[โ€“] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What is the provider linked to pm.me?

[โ€“] przemek@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

My provider (Onet) is a known Polish news outlet so I donโ€™t have such issues at home, but whenever Iโ€™m abroad I just spell it out: โ€œoh-en-ee-teeโ€.

Switched to proton, cancelled o365 subscription.

[โ€“] the_swagmaster@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I want to do this so bad. Issue is they don't offer enough storage for me. I need like 3 tb for photos and videos. Hope they offer add-ons to make that a possibility

Better not say it out loud but it's 100% European โค๏ธ

[โ€“] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 days ago

Can you at least tell why you shouldn't say it out loud? I'm curious.

[โ€“] Kualdir@feddit.nl 2 points 4 days ago

Infomaniak, such a great service for such a low price. Bought my own domain via them and the email hosting is free / just links with their plus plan.

1TB drive for 2 euros a month is a steal

[โ€“] Brewchin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

There's a world outside the US/European false dichotomy.

I've been with Fastmail since 2019 and you couldn't pay me to go elsewhere. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Australian here happy with Runbox, from an european country that respects privacy, unlike the 5 eyes. Unfortunately Australia is not a good country to get a cloud service.

Switched to Posteo about a decade ago

[โ€“] przemek@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Onet, a Polish news website. I used it for my first ever e-mail and since then I have been using it kind of out of habit. Never felt a need to switch to something more robust.

Of course I have a gmail account too, but I use it mostly for things like logins and synchronization rather than for correspondence.

[โ€“] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I've been using KolabNow for these past few years. Swiss-based with a focus on privacy. No issues, really like it. I also have a personal e-mail address with my name, but that one I have with a local domain registrar.

Off Gandi since they got bought and jacked up all prices a couple years ago. Galae.net (France) is working well.

I created a mailbox.org account. But so far I have only moved contacts and my calendar. I'm still a bit miffed that they don't support proper oauth/MFA. Guess that never got established as a standard for email :(

But otherwise it works great for what I need.

Thanks! Good to know that they're working on it

[โ€“] sinnsykfinbart@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Proton, but I donโ€™t think they can justify their monthly price for ยซpremiumยป features.

[โ€“] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Same here, some features kinda pointless. Like why would I ever need 10 email addresses on one account?

[โ€“] ndupont@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

I stick to my state owned ISP
