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?

I've seen a lot of people recommend Posteo but I whould not use them. Because they haven't enabled DMARC. https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dmarc%3Aposteo.de&run=toolpage

All major email providers have enabled DMARC. Gmail https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=gmail.com&run=toolpage

Tuta https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=tuta.com&run=toolpage

I'd recommend Tutanota, ProtonMail, or Mailbox.
