Mailbox.org
German privacy-focused mail with a full office suite — standards-based.
50
sovereigntyMailbox.org is a German, privacy-respecting email host for people who want a professional, standards-based inbox (IMAP/SMTP, custom domains) with an integrated office suite and calendar, powered by 100% renewable energy. It offers PGP encryption and an encrypted-mailbox option, but it's a commercial, closed service rather than open-source — the honest “privacy-friendly and full-featured, without encryption-first constraints” pick.
