This is interesting:

Anonymous payment:
All of our payment methods are anonymised using a payment system developed by Posteo. We do not link payment information with email accounts.
...
Payment:
You can pay by PayPal, bank transfer, credit card or in cash. Personal information that we receive in connection with bank transfers, PayPal and credit card payments is not linked to your account. With Posteo, your payment is always, therefore, anonymous.

I wonder how they pull off that trick, on the non-cash payments.

I think they delete that information related from that payment to some particular email account as soon as they receive it.

This way, I could pay for email1@domain.com and then contact support saying that I paid for email2@domain.com. How could they confirm or negate? Then I would have 2 services for 1 payment.

I can't, but I can call my credit card and request a refund for fraud. How will the email provider cancel my email service if they don't know which email address is associated with that credit card transaction?

When you pay by bank transfer or PayPal, your name or the name of the person who pays will be transmitted to us (with PayPal, your address as well). This information is not attached to your email account. We only evaluate whether a payment has occurred. The sole connection between payment transaction and email account – a randomly-generated payment code – is deleted at the moment the balance is loaded. We are legally required to keep records of all payments as a hard copy for 10 years for tax purposes.

I've just created an account to try Posteo. Bet if you can tell me my credit card number (just kidding).
