I'm also pretty much using 100% EU services except FastMail. Nothing against the Aussies, but I'd rather use something local, with servers within the EU.
But I don't think there's anything as good as Fastmail this side of the pond, and I'm not prepared to compromise on this just yet. I might self-host email despite all the dangers the day FM decides to enshittify itself.
- ktta 7mo agoProtonMail? Not strictly speaking EU, but atleast EEA It also comes with a whole suite of software that you don't have to find EU alternatives for like Calendar, Drive, Password manager, etc
- sph 7mo agoI like privacy, but a service that's focused on maximum possible privacy for its users paints a target on its back for any three-letter agency, as it will attract a large contingent of unsavoury people.
- mvdwoord 7mo agoI just onboarded and was dumbfounded that they do not allow for proper calendar exposure other than a fully public link! The claim of zero knowledge is super cute, for those that need it, but I need a provider which allows me to integrate the calendar elsewhere, as those will not magically move into Proton. I guess I am not in their target market.

- ongy 7mo agoI love fastmail, but I really wish they had servers close to me. The high ping kills the throughput on davfs and makes their website hosting a pain to update :(
- josephg 7mo agoWhere abouts are you located?
- ongy 7mo agoSmack center of Europe (southern Germany) Got >100ms pings.
- josephg 7mo agoHeh I’m sorry to hear that. The whole internet is that slow for us here in Australia.
- ongy 7mo agoI'm aware. I'm worried we'll get an Aussie customer at work and I have to fix their access to our systems... Granted, we already have US/EU/Asia as distinct regions. AUS would just make fail over even worse.
- antics9 7mo agohttps://tuta.com/ https://tuta.com/ and Protonmail
- perakojotgenije 7mo agohttps://mailbox.org/ https://mailbox.org/ German e-mail service
- NoboruWataya 7mo agoSeconding this - reasonable pricing and I haven't had any issues at all with the service. I haven't used FastMail but most things I read suggest they are very similar in terms of what they offer so I would think Mailbox is a good EU alternative for someone who likes FastMail. (There are also other EU providers like Tuta but with slightly different trade-offs, ie, more emphasis on privacy but at the expense of IMAP/SMTP support.)
- eigenspace 7mo agoI switched to mailbox recently and I'm finding it quite good. I set it up with a custom domain, and that did require a bit of fuzting around, but the friction there was almost all on the side of my VPS hosting service, not Mailbox's fault.
- heinrich5991 7mo agoI've used https://migadu.com/ https://migadu.com/ before. Not EU, but EEA (Switzerland).
- evan_a_a 7mo agoI'm using Startmail, based in NL: https://www.startmail.com https://www.startmail.com
- sph 7mo agoNot sure why I got downvoted for saying none of the dozen alternatives people have suggested are anything close to Fastmail. I guess none of you have even tried Fastmail. I am a big fan of its UI, and they have recently released and official Linux client.
