Suggestions for choosing email provider (lemmy.ml)

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?

Interesting! So there were founded in 2014? No much growth though. The cheapest plan is $19€/yr with 5GB, I think most will need 10GB but that would put you in the $90/yr (30GB plan)... that is a mayor hike that most users will find themselves in within the first year. But anything else looks good to me. Now, the email it is "Not encrypted" at all, not even facilitate doing it so. They justify it and I am ok with their "email is not intended for so", but probably no what the OP s looking for.
