I'm searching for a safe and cheap alternative for my own domain, but it's hard! And I don't want to give money to American companies.

Namecrane, I think they are Canadian

Mailbox.org located in Germany and run by Peer Heinlein. You can use your own Domain with it just fine

Tuta is €3.60 a month or €3 a month if you pay for an entire year (€36) not sure if that's "cheap" in your budget.

A .com domain is like $12 per year

Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.

I have only been using Tuta for like a month, still not sure if I'm staying tho...

There's also Mailbox.org which is also about €3 a month, which doesn't have encryption by default and they don't have an official opensource client. (Tuta has their client on F-Droid)

Are you talking about support request response time here? Or what response time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Support response time. In my experience, Proton usually responds faster.

tuta.com is great for me so far

PCMag seems to endorse it.

Tuta Mail is free for personal use, though you must accept a few limitations. The free edition lets you send and receive all the secure messages you want, and it includes a secure calendar. Searching encrypted email is limited—with the free edition, you can only search messages up to a month old. Paying 36 euros per year for a Revolutionary subscription ($38.65 as of this writing) removes that search limitation, lets you have multiple calendars, and adds features including filtering rules and 15 alias email addresses (more about those later). It also raises the storage for your messages from 1GB to 20GB.
