On macOS you have to add another service in background and i don’t like it, on iOS and iPadOS you have to use their app and I want to use Mail by Apple.

But there are the filter lists! You can customize the spam filters. Anyway maybe I’ll find these issue in the future, for now it’s all fgood with spam (I don’t see any spam email)

In Italy =] the price is about 1.30 to 1.40€. And I’m in northern Italy, in the south you can find it for ~1€.

wow, amazing. I feel like it was a pretty similar price (.90?) when I visited in 2006.

Fastmail's base plan is excessive for me (60GB of storage) and costs twice as much as Mailbox, plus it's not an EU service.

It is for me as well. It's an obscene plan. They should have plans for us normal humans :)

But having burnt my fingers couple of times I need to be with a provider who has some sort of "real" and responsive support (and accountable) and that costs money so there's that. For me EU is not a condition, neither is e2ee (as long as it's E at Rest), but I understand it might be for others. I hope mailbox is good for you and unless you need some support it will good. There were no outages or any general things breaking during my usage of many years.

Good luck.


Yes but at least for the TOS, mailbox doesn’t do it, and I’m more relaxed also because I’m paying for the email (they don’t need to sell my data to other services) and the server are hosted in Europe and GDPR compliance.

I've never encountered this issue so far, and I've already changed my email on almost all commercial services. But thanks for reporting! I'll use Gmail with forwarding if I encounter this issue

That's correct, I meant that you have to always use their app, whether to use e2ee or not. There is no IMAP.

Mailbox also offers e2ee via browser among the same mailbox users, but it also has IMAP and PGP.


Yes it’s very easy to use on mailbox, well I use pgp encryption with some friend and on Kraken (the crypto exchange)

Oh, thank you. I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm not using a custom domain on mailbox, I use my custom mail domain with another service.

Unfortunately this is common in many smtp servers and is configuration dependent: After you authenticate as usera@example.com you can send emails as userb@example.com.
