I've been using Posteo for about 10 years. Highly recommended

But, afaik they don't support custom domains, right?

bekksen@piefed.social · 16 pts · 213d (1 reply)

yep, you are right - custom domains are not supported by posteo. But mailbox.org supports them afaik

But then the price increases by 150% per month :D

I relays all my mails from my custom domain to my posteo mailbox for the last 10 years. No issues there. (I do this via a minimal postfix on the VPS on that domain). The downside is, that I can only receive mail on that domain, but not send any.

Is Posteo better than Protonmail or Tuta?

dukemirage@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 213d (3 replies)

They all get the job done. Posteo has no free plan and only one paid plan which is the cheapest of the three (1€/mo).

If you want to save money, Purelymail is 10 dollars a year, no strings attached, unlimited custom domains. It's blissful.

Edit: I'm stupid, it's based in the US

dukemirage@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 213d (1 reply)

Thanks, but I‘ll not switch back to a US service, kinda the point of this community.

Scrollone@feddit.it · 2 pts · 213d

Yeah I'm stupid, sorry. I've started reading about email services and I thought we were taking about independent providers in general

Tuta is nice, but you have to use their app or website to read your mail.
Search is slow and often requires you to rebuild the search cache.
And last time I used Tuta, I couldn't sort my email in other ways than time.
It's very secure though and allows for E2E encryption with passwords.

Posteo allows you to use any IMAP client to access your mail.

JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 213d

It is literally no more secure than any other email. Almost all emails support E2E encryption with passphrase, and any email that can use IMAP can through clients too.

The problem is that 99.99% of emails (not counting deltachat) have no way of utilizing that, so it is just as insecure on Tuta as anything else, just better marketed.

I use posteo for mail/calendar and proton for everything else.

Joker33@piefed.social · 9 pts · 213d

I changed from Gmail to posteo two weeks ago. Works fine.

bekksen@piefed.social · 6 pts · 213d

Nice, good to know!

Great news!

I was surprised to see this be that little.

iCloud+ gives me 50 GB for 0,99 € per month, including my own email domain, cloud storage, calendar, unlimited alias addresses.
