A while ago, when one of the Proton CEOs made some questionable statements, I terminated my Proton subscription. I liked Proton, having all the services I need in one place was nice and I wasn't sure whether I'd actually leave and had a year already paid left.

I thought about at least leaving my mail there, but 4-5€ / month just for mail isn't worth it in my opinion. And I'm very pissed that mail-forwarding and IMAP are premium features, something I probably should've found out way earlier. They want to lock me in, which is a dealbreaker for me.

So with that in mind, does someone know a fitting alternative? I'd of course still prefer a privacy-focused service and would be fine paying <= 2€.

€: Bonuspoints if there are no "special discounts" (discounts for commiting to a longer subscription are fine, what i mean is special deals for new customers or black friday deals, stuff like that)

€€: Going to give mailbox a shot, thanks everyone!

Infomaniak KSuite+ (email + cloud + a few other stuff): works great under Linux, unlike Proton Drive.

€: Bonuspoints if there are no “special discounts”.

Why would that be?

I mean, Infomaniak KSuite is not expensive (something like 2€/month) but I happily applied the neat discount I was offered by them a year ago. I just renewed for a year and they seem to be willing to keep the discount running, why would I not want to use it?
