Inbox.eu - a new email hosting with free plan
 

Someone said it's powered by inbox.lv - a famous free email provider in western europe.
I am not sure. But you can check it by yourself.
www.inbox.eu

There are a few email solutions that are embedded in stone, that have existed since time immimorial; there are others that are a flash in the pan, that are crap - you take your choices, and your chances.

Famous ?:confused::confused:

Yeah, never heard about it. :confused:

Sorry, I meant the eastern europe.
I am from Asia, close to eastern europe, I know inbox.lv.
Thats way I say it famous.:)

Oh, that famous one! :D

One question, if anyone knows:

- Does it support Two-Factor-Authentication?

The absence of evidence is not the same as the evidence of absence...
You can always email their support folks and ask.

According to their "About Us" page, they are connected with inbox.lv:

With a link to inbox.lv. They also list other inbox.lv products on the same page.

"Famous" in any part of Europe or not (I don't know, being in the U.S.), I've had more than one Inbox.lv account (with email and file and media storage) for probably over 10 years, although I've used them fairly minimally.

They also have (or at least had) another 'Inbox' domain for a number of years, at which I also had at least one account, but I've used it so little that I can't now even recall the TLD. Offhand, I had never heard of inbox.eu, though.

(Offhand, I'm also unaware of their having two-factor-authentication. If they do, I've never noticed a reference to it.)

Through a small amount of "trial and error", I determined that the other 'inbox' domain is inbox.lt, which appears more or less exactly like inbox.lv.

inbox.eu does not support IMAP4. Only POP3.

Based on my own experience, you could well be right. Although I notice that it does say on this page:

(I've also found in the past that it is capable of checking other accounts via IMAP, although obviously that's a different issue.)

They also state on the free plan there is no file storage plus they display ads unlike mx route and mr mail.

Where do they say there's no file storage for the free plan? I see on their "prices" page, under the "free mailbox plan", "Files storage apps", just as it says under the premium mailbox. I can't imagine why they would have apps for storage that doesn't exist. Also, even the free 'inbox.lv' mailboxes have an additional 10GB available for file storage -- assuming that the free inbox.lv may be basically the same system as inbox.eu.

Of course, I would expect to, and do, see ads in the web login at inbox.lv, as is the case with most larger free email services (which, in their case, also happen to be a bit on the "obnoxious" side, actually partially blocking one's view of one's inbox -- unless one uses Ad Blocker, of course, as I have "successfully" used with the service in the past). I also seem to recall that they send their own email ads periodically.

As for IMAP, although at least one page claims that it's available, I've noticed that they only seem to have instructions for setting up POP in a client, not IMAP. So they seem to be a bit ambiguous on that.

FWIW, on closer look, I do see instructions for configuring IMAP settings with Inbox.eu for "Thunderbird/Windows Live Mail" in their Help section on this page.
