email service recommendation please

Jarman · 1 Feb 2024, 11:50 PM

Hi. I am looking for an email service that is simple, basic, easy on the eyes and uncluttered. I don't need templates or organizers or storage space or any of the big features normally promoted by email services. This will be used very little and all I need is the ability to receive and send an email now and then. Does such a simple email service exist?

You didn't say it it had to be paid or free. I suggest Posteo. It's a paid service but they only charge $12 a year.

Not free, but very cheap. Purelymail. And good.

Hello Jarman. What is wrong with the majors like GMail, Hotmail, and Yahoo?

...
As an alternative, here's also GMX.com .

Since the beginning of last year (2023) I've mostly trying lots of so called private email providers and it's like a merry go round. I keep coming back to OnMail (Free) and Tutanota (premium).

Also this is a good read -- E-mail providers - which one to choose? -- Don't need to get serious with it, just a reference point to justify your decision to go for or dump an email service

Cheers
