Can I trust Combell? (lemmy.ca)

I recently transferred one of my domains over to Combell (a registrar based in Belgium), and they gave me an email inbox under my domain as part of the package. However, I’m wondering if it’s trustworthy.

If it isn’t, I can set the registrar to redirect mail to the Posteo alias I currently use for the site. However, it would be convenient to be able to use this inbox.

I would, of course, be using PGP encryption when possible (although in practice this is infrequent).

Any thoughts?

Trustworthy in terms of what? Reading your mail, blocking your account, staying in business?

But in any case, the answer is probably going to be "it depends". Trust is a subjective determination you personally have to make.
