I am trying to choose an email provider, to use with my identifying accounts (like banks, gov ids, etc.). I feel that emails for such cases do not need to be end-to-end encrypted, since most information would already be present with banks, gov, etc.

So I was looking at non-E2EE emails - Mailbox and Posteo.

  • Between Posteo and Mailbox - which one do you use / is better in terms of privacy?

I noticed that both of these are hosted in Germany. With rise in popularity of right wing party, a bunch of stuff around chat control and verification, and even normal German government support for Israel, I was wondering whether I should look for other solutions hosted elsewhere. Or use Proton / Tuta instead?

Also, I am not sure if any of these companies support right-wing or Israel themselves?

Do you have any suggestions regarding this?

    Watever you do, you can use https://unbox.at/ to get free, unlimited aliases in front of any mail account you’d like. It’s a hosted version of addy.io

    I’ve given up on encrypted email because they can read whatever you receive or send anyway: they have to. It’s a question of who you trust. I’ve seen posteo and mailbox recommended often enough that I don’t even think it matters which one you pick.
