Mailbox.org is what I've used for a long time, before protonmail even existed. The mailbox.org servers are powered 100% by solar energy too!
Their fine print didn't fill me with total confidence, but still seems much better for privacy than most email services.
What did you see in the fine print? I just picked it because it was recommended, I never read any of that
Agreed their privacy policy is not good and the owner was on record as being anti-privacy some years ago.
There was an excellent site that analyzed the privacy policies, public statements made my employees, owners etc, their history, organizations or donations that companies supported in terms of privacy and integrity. Mailbox was in bottom quartile of the list.
Sadly the site is gone but it was excellent, multiple page analysis of each provider.
Technically however it is maybe the top provider based on the excellent disroot analysis but disappointing for privacy.
100% solar energy? They shutdown the servers at night?
The site says 100% green but hosted in Germany. I'd be curious to know how this is possible
I would assume batteries. They generate excess solar energy during the day and store it in the batteries for night, but that's just my thought process. No idea on what they actually do.
