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:
https://buy-european.net/en/category/email-providers
Sadly I can't find a nice table comparison anywhere.
We canโt 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.
I don't know if there's a list, but you can start from infomaniak on ik.me
Not supported in my EU country (Romania)! I am so not going to use a VPN just to access my email, it's ridiculous.
I did not know that
If you're willing to pay for an account I think you'll find that most providers absolutely don't mind selling you multiple accounts. If you don't need separate accounts but just multiple addresses you can check out mailbox.org. In their standard plan you get 25 aliases and if you bring your own domain 50 more addresses for that domain.
I have an old contract for internet access and within that we have 50 mail addresses free, not alias but real seperate addresses.
We can'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.
Update: Since I've opened the thread, I've also found out Mailo and other providers do not even allow forwarding on their free tier! Just when I was about to throw in the towel, I discover in a Reddit thread someone mentioning a site called murena.io - turns out they do have free forwarding and a more than decent free tier - apparently, they're tied to Nextcloud, which explains all the features besides the e-mail... Done a few verification emails, now let's see if there's no problem moving forward, what does puzzle me is that, upon signing up, the terms of use were pretty vague - it's not clear whether they allow multiple mailboxes for one person - and then it seems to be inaccessible once you are signed in. Guess I'll wait for a bit before opening multiple accounts and switching all my stuff, but so far murena.io looks promising!
Exhaustive... No, I don't think so. There might be, though, so make sure to look it up thoroughly.
Anyway, definitely check out Tuta and Proton.
They don't allow multiple accounts.
