I recently switched from Gmail to a mail provider called Posteo. They are a German mail provider much like Fastmail. Here is the neat thing: You can create a mail account and physically mail them paper money, without ever giving them your name or address.
I wish more services would be doing that! In particular, I think we sorely need an anonymous way of paying money on the web, like physical money.
- etix 12y agoThat's neat. Is it a German only website or do they have an English version available?
- Derbasti 12y agoAs far as I know, the website is in German only. The webmail interface can be switched to any language you want though. I guess you could sign up for it with the help of a German friend or maybe even Google Translate. Since payment is completely anonymous (or paypal), that won't be a problem. To quote from the FAQ: The webmail interface can be switched to other languages. However, the rest of the service is in German, i.e. sign-up, EULA, mail settings (forwarding, POP download, …), payment information etc. If you don't know any German, you might miss some things. Der Webmailer lässt sich auf andere Sprachen umstellen. Allerdings ist unser Angebot ansonsten komplett deutschsprachig, also Anmeldung, AGBs, Einstellungen rund um die Mailadresse (Weiterleitungen, POP-Sammeldienst,…), Zahlungshinweise usw. Wer gar kein Deutsch kann, geht da vielleicht etwas verloren.
