I can fully recommend it. I‘ve been using it since around 2016 as well and never had any problems nor hiccups. The alias thing is pretty handy.
Posteo is nice but I disited to use purelymail. The selling feature of them was multiple account you can create on the flight
I love purelymail! But should we trust it? I mean, are we sure they actually encrypt the emails?
+1 for Posteo
No own domain - instant KO from me.
Also a big downside for me but they said because of privacy focus they don't wanna do that. That said,I've been using them happily as a second provider for more than 5y
It was my choice in the last step of degoogling a couple of years ago and I don't regret, good service for just 1€.
Yes, same for me! Has been working great for some years now :) The customer service was also always helpful even when doing stupid things (like incorrectly saving the password in my pw manager and then having to reset the pw on the same day as opening up my account lol)
I signed up for an account after reading about it on this site: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/email Using it via Thunderbird on the desktop and K9 mail on the phone, works well and has been reliable so far.
I think that page is a really nice starting point, but keep in mind that the criteria used for ranking prioritizes anonymity highly. Security and privacy aren't the same as anonymity. If you're looking for an address to use publically, anonymity is a non-issue so the rankings there won't be meaningful to you. The writeups are still useful though.
I am also in the same situation, but I also can't afford to pay for mail right now.
I've had no issues with it except for one hostel I tried to email not getting my email. The web interface isn't the best, but I access my email almost exclusively though IMAP. I've also set up my calendar and contacts though it.
I picked posteo over proton and tutamail because of the IMAP support. I didn't want to use a proprietary app.
Worked like a charm for me for the last few years—worth the €1/mo. I understand their stance on it, but I still kinda wish they allowed custom domains. Custom domains are very useful for being able to migrate later if you change your mind. There are other good options in the space but the importantest steps are leaving Microsoft/Google/AOL/Yahoo then skipping on app-required Proton & Tutanota.
@Xirup I am a Posteo user since 2016. Has everything i need, very reliable. I also use mailbox.org with a paid tier.
Posteo has been stable, professional and functional for many years. Tuta is another good choice.
I’ve been using Posteo for a few months now. Have 2 dedicated aliases setup (more than 2 is €0.25 per) with filters effectively making two separate inboxes for them.
It does well, web app sometimes fails over to Deutsch at random, the login cookies are very short lived (good to prevent access from local intrusions), and supports 2FA.
Posteo is great, it's simple yet has all the features one needs. It doesn't overwhelm users either with what you mention, bigger better tiers.. Other honerable mentions if you're keen on checking out other mail services are: Runbox, Mailbox and Fastmail.
Posteo is nice, my main email is with them for years now :) I only wish they would add some features from time to time, but otherwise it's really stable!
I'm actually happy that they don't follow the feature bloat trend.
I get that, but a bit more than now would be ideal :) For instance, I have my emails, calendar and contacts with them, and I would really like them to add a notes/journal and todolist feature that I can sync like the others with DAVx.
