Comments and Reviews
Very good, but not perfect.
Pros
Cons
It gets all of the major things right, and is recommended. But it could be improved.
None of the negatives are showstoppers, the way they have been with other services. Posteo.de, for example, was great, but I could not get the calendar to integrate with Android properly, no matter what. That works with Mailbox.org. I realize it's because Ox Sync explicitly supports Mailbox and not Posteo, and that's not Posteo's fault, but the end result is that it works for Mailbox, and that's what matters.
In terms of the security, and privacy, which are the reasons you choose a service like Mailbox in the first place, they meet expectations, and at a low price point.
Amongst many E-Mail-providers opting in for privacy, Mailbox.org does most things right and this for a fair pricing. Supports of open standards and focusing on encryption (PGP) while having the chance of even using custom domains, it clearly surpasses local competition. A solid and trustworthy E-Mail-service with no problems interacting with various devices, making it possible to use a Linux-machine besides my main Apple-daily drivers and keeping everything in sync. Nothing to complain about while being less "fancy" in terms of UI and the web interface - but security is placed first here and that's what makes this Berlin-based company famous.
Dealing with spam is a relict of the past, GDPR-compliance and redundant data centers in Germany are on the "Pro"-list as well. Hope this will continue to last for many years to come and I am a satisfied customer who finally stayed with Mailbox.org after two or three attempts in the past (private use).
