Which privacy-respecting email provider can you recommend? It seems that the following three are the best options:

- tutanota (0€ / 12€)
- posteo (12€)
- mailbox.org (12€)

Do you have any experience with them?
What do you think about a hosted email service with your own domain?

    I can recommend hosting your own mail server.
    If that's not good with you though, posteo is nice.

    @kescherRant I think hosting your own comes with a lot of headaches, doesn't it? While I like poking around, I'm not a sysadmin.

    @PappyHans I thought about it as well, but the free tier is very limited and the price for the plus plan is quite steep (48€/y).

    Using ProtonMail for few years now I have to say that I never had a problem. To me it’s worth the money. Again when I was researching a good few years ago there wasn’t as many options available. Try them out and see what works best for you

    @saucyatom I rarely ever touch my mail server. I occasionally update some security settings and allowed TLS versions, but that's about it.

    @saucyatom i use protonmail and tutanota, both do their respective jobs.

    I find protonmail's app a lot more user friendly though.

    I've been using Mailbox.org for quite some time and am happy. They support custom domain, IMAP/POP3, etc.

    Protonmail.

    After using it for years and seeing it evolve, I think it's the best.

    The thing that makes it the best is that it's continuously improving...

    I highly rate to explore the settings... It's - compared to other solutions - amazing how much they have to offer.

    Using tutanota premium! And have been for years now. They listen to their users a lot and have a great support team. I chose it over protonmail since protonmail has been accused of voluntarily helping law enforcement (although not proven), they've used reCaptcha for a while and required phone number at signup for a long time.

    @SevenDeadlyBugs There's a difference between that and voluntarily; https://securityweek.com/protonmail...

    (again, can't confirm this)

    I use migadu.com beeing a swiss company it looked reasonable safe to me

    Also not paying per mailbox/domain is a huge plus imho

    @linuxxx I guess it shouldn't surprise us when they take money from the EU.

    Give mailcow a try.
    Its docker(-compose) with all the components isolated into containers forming the mail system.

    @IntrusionCM also I know that my email is encrypted, if you long out and follow the reset password options you can do longer decrypt your old email.

    I like tutanota a lot - plus I was able to get a short and easy e-mail, which is pretty rare nowadays.
