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 👍🏼

    I felt like leaving gmail for proton was like moving from X to BS. So I bought my own domain via OVH in France and I’m happy with that. If OVH starts going downhill I’ll move my domain somewhere else.

      If you’re happy with OVH as it is, then I don’t think it can get much worse.
      I really wish OVH would get it together and be a serious competitor to other (US) cloud providers…

        I don’t like to say that I’m happy because it could always be improved, but I’m hosting websites with OVH for personal projects and clients since the 2000 era, so far it has been reliable and stable.

        Do you have other serious competitors in mind ?

          I think web hosting shouldn’t be an issue either way, but once you’re scaling up and trying to use more of their stack, the seams start to crack.

          Realistically, I don’t think there’s any good competitor, or not at a scale which would make sense. Finding local/regional cloud providers is usually not an issue.
          At larger scale, it feels like we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, with US cloud providers on the one hand and CN ones on the other, and barely any serious competitor outside of that - OVH would be an option, if reliability, tech support, performance and features are not a priority…
          That’s my personal takeaway anyway, from professional experience with OVH over the past 5 years.
