I saw Nubo mentioned in a thread a while back but there were only a few comments. Does anyone use Nubo? What has your experience been like?

After registering I wasn’t even able to pay for a sub to check out their offering for myself. English docs are lacking. I think they are focusing on fr and nl regions. Support e-mail autoreply also only replies in those languages. They are really small scale, ~2000 users by their own admission. Which is ok, but if you advertise a service, at least let people pay for it, so they can start using it, however janky it is.

I haven’t heard about nubo till now! Probably very few people here have experience with them. Looks promising, but kind of risky since we dont really know if its trustworthy or longstanding
Seems like it is only for Europeans (and possibly even excluding non-EU citizens)? I have been using Zoho (free account) for many years (since I got rid of GMail) and while not explicitly privacy-focused they are not a data collection operation like Google/Alphabet or Meta. They make their money through providing paid accounts to businesses (competing with Google Suite). I have been very satisfied with them. They provide very good 2FA options and apps and I also use their WorkDrive (previously Docs) and Notebook.

Mailbox.org is closed source unfortunately and I believe the Client is too

Mailbox.org works with IMAP so you can use a regular email program. The mailbox is not encrypted by default but I saw that there’s an option to enable it involving PGP keys.

From what I see here it can automatically encrypt incoming emails with PGP, which I know Fastmail doesn’t have this, and the advantage would be that you get security similar to Protonmail but you’re not locked into their clients.
AFAIK, Mailbox.org was once open source, but has not very recently become closed source. PrivacyGuides.org recommends it, as does Tresorit (encrypted cloud storage), for example, which is closed source and is one of the services I use. Providers that implement encryption, have been audited, have been on the market for years, and have a clean track record of security or privacy scandals, which there aren’t many of these types of services these days. But I personally don’t like them and try my best to avoid closed source softwares as well.
In conclusion, PrivacyGuides mostly recommends open source software but also recommends some that are not based on their features, reputation, security and maturity.
Im using Mailbox with K-9 Mail or Thunderbird.
I run https://port87.com/
It’s not end to end encrypted like Proton, but it has features that help you stay private online, like everywhere you sign up with gets a different email address, so they can’t track you by address.
Just giving another option. :)
