What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans ππΌ

Proton is a perfectly good alternative. Encrypted and European based. Also one of the easiest User Experiences for those moving out of Gmail.
This kind of nonsense just creates confusion and leads to people sticking with Gmail/Google
Edit: the bots also vote. Yay
Is "bot" now the new "NPC" for morons?
Why did you completely ignore the content of the comment? You're the one sounding like a bot here.
Because the content of the comment has been addressed multiple times in threads like this. As with everything, the world is not black and white.
This thread and comment on Reddit do a better job on addressing the comment (sorry for linking for Reddit)

@professionalspooner @verdigris @buyeuropean people are entitled to their opinion though. If they don't want a product because of it's CEO, that's totally fine
E.g.: see Tesla nowadays.
Yeah but if they spread misinformation about the CEO, it can be called out
Why not explain yourself here? I don't want to give Spez the traffic
I am sorry. I would never make it justice to the whole discussion.
Here's a troddit link which I just learned that exists andis open source.

I hope that's helpful.
Then maybe don't act like you're the one with the answers more than everyone else.
Calling someone a "bot" doesn't refute anything. It's just a childish response because you disagree. While you also seem to be unable to explain this stance for yourself. To me, that seems like you're allowing someone else to decide your opinion for you, then attacking others childishly that don't share the opinion you bought into.
I donβt like what youβre saying. You must be a bot!
Explain please.
I'm sorry, but they are an even more closed ecosystem than even Gmail: one cannot use a regular email client with Proton
@exchange12rocks @professionalspooner @buyeuropean AFAIK with a paid subscription you can set up a bridge which would allow you to use it with Thunderbird etc
I didn't know about the bridge, thank you!
Yes! That sucks.
From what I understand, that's their way to do e2e encryption between proton emails. They have this bridge thing, which unfortunately you can't use on free plans.

I agree that this is a problem, and that it is worse than Google.
But for me personally, putting it all on a scale I still think it is better than having your emails mined for ads targeting.
Thank you for the explanation - didn't know about the bridge π
You're the only bot here bud
