I’ve been paying for a Mini account at Runbox for 2 years.
I think they’re hosted in Norway or some other “safe(r)” location. The UI definitely needs some polish, including their marketing pages.
Functionality-wise it’s top notch. I’ve no complaints to log so far. I also use them for CalDAV, CardDAV, and host a domain with a sub-account my wife uses.
I’ve needed their customer support twice, and it was the best possible service in both accounts. This last time it was about 2FA after I locked myself out of my account. Really good service.
That’s that. I’ve used Proton and Tutanota before. A long way back I was a very happy customer of Lavabit. All of these are privacy-conscious.
Read the privacy policies, try to make sense of them. I would avoid Gmail like the plague, but I’m morally opposed to Google.
