    Tutanota is a great email provider with very good encryption (it uses end-to-end encryption like Signal – i.e. they cannot read your emails/gife them to the government, Gmail can!) and they don't sell any data. It is also very easy to use, it has a very nice app, a desktop client and a web client. There is really no reason why you wouldn't want to use it :)

    Does not support POP/IMAP, you will not be able to use it with Thunderbird or another email client.

    Works great and it will be a great substitute for someone looking to fully degoogle (They even use their own push service rather than Playstore's and they always support FOSS stuff as Linux, GrapheneOS and others...) If you just want your own mail and calendar this is perfect, E2EE. without AI and with their own apps :D

    It's open-source, easy to use, compatible with IMAP, and not spying on you. To top it off, it also supports encryption and PGP!

    Not as robust as Gmail but good enough if all you need is basic stuff.

    Cheap and focused on renewables

    Lack of labels - only folders. Poor and broken search function on web client (seems to scramble email details in results?) Unable to send through external addresses. Does not group multiple separate emails from same sender. No multiple star colours

    The most secure and private email on the market. As such, there is not free version. This is a good thing, it means they are not making money with your information.

    At the moment, Mailbox.org is probably the best Gmail alternative: 1) You pay for the service with money, not your privacy (no data mining), 2) Excellent integration of encryption, 3) excellent Calendar and Contacts (not on mobile yet), 4) Yubikey 2FA, 5) Data stored in Germany (better privacy laws).

    Best Gmail replacement at the moment. You get all the suite functions like the calendar, address book, cloud space, apps for a fair cheap price and the priceless privacy policy and encryption without losing IMAP capabilities as with some even more privacy focused email providers like Protonmail and Tutanota.

    Mailo is a good alternative to Gmail, since apart from email it also includes calendar, contacts, cloud, etc. It also respects your privacy, unlike Google
