Hi All,
I would like to choose a new email provider, where security and privacy of the email is one of my main concerns (nothing to hide, but want to keep my data private, differently than what happens with the major providers). I have read maaany posts and websites guides but I am still confused.
I am happy to pay a euro or so /month, so I had reduced my choice to Mailbox, Posteo, Mailfence. The problem is that each of them has some flows that don’t let me go ahead with them!
Mailbox: uses PGP, so not straightforward to send encrypted emails (unlike with tutanota) and to have encryption at rest. No mobile app. Alias reuse after 90 days
Posteo: no spam folder. ALias reuse after 24 months
Mailfence : has no encryption at rest , no mobile app. Not sure about alias reuse
Have you got any comments on the above providers and /or other suggestions (except for Tutanota and Protonmail)? thank you, appreciated!
Yes, this is one of the wonderful benefits of federation. Thanks to IMAP, you can constantly keep an offline copy of all your emails. If Purelymail stops working for whatever reason, you can just sign up somewhere else, point your domain MX records to the new server and upload your emails there via IMAP or their own import tool. Migrating takes less than an hour, and even that is only because it takes a while for the DNS MX records to propagate.
