Mailbox.org as a mail provider has not been metioned here, so i will do it now.

That's it - i will not point out the features here as you can look it up yourself. Just the relevancy for this topic: berlin based company with a CEO that is highly skilled, involved in protocol standartization and very much into privacy topics and free software. i am also pretty much sure they will stay arou d for years to come, as they don't sell you into bs statements nobody can hold onto and are just rock solid business. fits my bill..

I do not like to do advertisement for anyone and really think calling out for some company is a no-go. Except one that has its product open source to full extend. But this does not apply here - its a central service you simply have to trust.. EMail is different. As you can, but shall but better not host that mess yourself. So that's the excuse for me doing advertisement here as a one-time exception..

One thing i hate about mailbox.org is the way they implemented 2fa login [1]

They prepend a 4 digit PIN-code before the actual 2fa code - which of course is not compatible with password managers. It all feels so... clumsy.

Other than that, it seems like a great service (i'm testing the trial version.)

Some time ago they changed web login to have the username/account to be the full mail adress. That was a little more to type and only a small decrease of comfort. They had a reason for that and it was communicated. Anyway, I shiftet to use mail clients because of that. I am lazy af. Later i added also TOTP as 2fa and noticed also the unusual approach for the web login. I think first part is your password, followed by the 2fa generated code. keepassDX does that fine btw., as you just have to paste the totp code after your password, wich is also selectable with the magikeyboard. But since i already do not use weblogin nowadays except to check on my payments, this is not a showstopper for me. Otherwise i would also discourage the penalty on comfort here. I also see the clear advantage, as that they care about security seriously even when this may scare away some customers. Maybe they adapt to FIDO passkey soon or speak openly against it when they see some downside to securety. My usecase is not affected by this anyway as the one-time setup of a mailclient is the lazy way to have this solved.

I'm really pleased with Purelymail so far. It's very minimalistic, reliable (I can't remember if I've ever had any sort of downtime at all!), and dirt cheap: $10/yr if you're on simple pricing, and usually even less if you pay for usage (my usual monthly bill is around 50¢, give or take, so something like $6/yr).

Purelymail appears to be entirely run by exactly one person [0]. That's not really an acceptable risk for something as critical as email. If he loses interest in the project, or gets busy with his day job or other life responsibilities, your email will be effectively shut down in an instant.
