What it's for
Two ethical, low-cost European email providers, with server-side PGP support.
Why it matters
Privacy- and eco-conscious, built on open standards (IMAP, PGP). They work with any mail client.
For whom & when
Those who want a “classic” mailbox (read in Thunderbird) but ethical, rather than a closed encrypted app.
Install & use
- Create an account (paid, roughly €1 to €3 per month).
- Enable server-side PGP encryption (the “Guard” feature at mailbox.org).
- Set the account up in Thunderbird or the mobile app of your choice.
