For anyone reading this: Mailbox.org is great, alternatives I like too are posteo and disroot. I use Discord and am happy with it. Its free and optional one time fee upgrades are possible

I decided on Mailbox.org!
Good choice
Hmm I mentioned them in my post as I've been apprehensive about them, maybe it's unfounded though..

Turn on the filter for email about IMAP and you'll have all your options. You'll have to look up whether they allow custom domains though.
This is a better list than the ones I've seen previously. Thanks for sharing.
Posteo.de. Been using them for years, and are coulden't be more happy.
I don't know if Australia is to be trusted tbh
Dont. Our encryption and privacy laws are garbage
As am Australian, do not trust us, we keep votong for politcans who are happy to use the no prowvacy dildo of consequence and use the CSAM/ terrorist trope to attack anyone against it.
Runbox.
Disroot and Autistici are both good options that work with IMAP :D
Infomaniak? Thundermail? The latter only has a waitlist for now, unfortunately.
Thanks, but apparently Infomaniak has some privacy-related issues.
Now that I think of it, I do remember them asking for my address and phone number in order to sign up . . .
Exactly. I tried to create an account years ago, but when I saw it, I never tried again and completely discarded.
Migadu?
Unfortunately no support for using their own domain as an alias. I want to use both my custom domain and their own.
Could you get the extra functionality you're after from addy.io?
Is it not possible to use thunderbird (or any email client) wirh tutu (or any email provider)? I thought you could plug in your email provider's smtp and imap/pop information and your account credentials into any app.
The way Tuta and Proton have set up E2EE is not compatible with Thunderbird.
Proton offers a "bridge" service that does local decryption for email clients like TB but it's an extra step and has to be running 24/7.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation .
I use posteo. The interface is nothing to write home about, but since I use thunderbird, this is not a dealbreaker (for me).
Unfortunately no support for custom domains.
Buy your own domain name, rent a mail-hotel, and you have the full control. Set it up with IMAP, and enjoy it in Thunderbird.
As I wrote in my post, I already have a custom domain but I want to use both my domain and theirs.
If you have your own, why do you want to use theirs?
