Mailbox.org

Mailbox Standard compared to ProtonMail Plus:

  • Cheaper (€30/yr vs ~€50/yr; if you don't need custom domains, €1/mo)
  • More aliases (25 on mailbox, 50 on own domain. Proton has 10 TOTAL - why custom domain aliases are counted against Proton ones does not make sense to me.)
  • Support for any number of custom domains AFAICT (Proton Plus supports only one)
  • Trial account is not allowed to send emails, so fewer issues with services blacklisting proton.me and protonmail.com for spam (hasn't happened to me, but I have heard of some cases)
  • Can use a regular email client (security tradeoff for E2EE messages - but there already were plenty of discussions on whether E2EE has benefits, especially sending mail to other services)

Thanks. I'm on my second year in my bi-year purchase and considering options. Where's mailbox.org located and what are their privacy policies regarding government agencies requests?

They're located in Germany and have to fulfill requests, they publish a yearly transparency report about that: https://mailbox.org/en/post/transparency-report-2024
