Posteo at €1/month is far more serious than the price suggests.
No personal details at signup, strong account controls, IMAP support, and an optional zero-access mailbox mode if you enable it.

I’ve tested it properly and written up a full review:

Posteo Review 2026: Privacy for €1/month

A hands-on Posteo review covering pricing, anonymity, encryption, IMAP support, and whether €1/month is enough for serious privacy.

@pwob TBH I found your privacy-first approach a bit off-putting.

My most important interests here are, in order
*deep green business structure cf promo
*european server
*good value, large storage
*simple but functional
*no profiling

I'm recommending a very no non-tech friend use it [via sms!!] after REPLIES from me rejected by g***le ... and soon after, spam delivered to MY inbox via a g***le server in the headers...

I also like that they use value-based banks to operate their banking-accounts.

@dexternemrod @wavesculptor Agreed — it reinforces that the sustainability angle isn’t just surface-level. It’s baked into how they operate, not just how they power their servers.
