The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!

      Thanks, will look to see how best to add these. Might not be all though as I don’t want to overwhelm people with too many options.

    I mean, choosing a different provider is an important step, but automatically getting your mails out, informing important (or all) contacts and potentially doing that for your loved ones (cause we’re the tech support, right? ) seems to remain an unsolved problem.

    I think I say that for each iteration of that great graphics but Swiss laws ARE NOT the same as european ones!

    You really should label the services based in Switzerland differently than EU (Infomaniak, Proton and Kolab) especially that the laws are evolving and Switzerland might become a worse place than Germany for such services (hopefully not, let’s cross our fingers)

    I switched to Mailbox.org (Germany) and will keep it for a while. So far so good. I have payed version 30€/year to have custom domain and more aliases. I like progressive web app for the smartphone too.

    What the three groupings on the right hand side for?

    I guess the top one is free and the bottom offers an eco system, but thst about the middle group?

    I have had a mail.com address for decades. It was my first e-mail address, and using a 3rd party client for it, I have had zero issues. I don’t really use it much anymore since the novelty of having a mindless.com address wore off a loooong time ago.
