Mailfence is the cheapest and gives most functional features - i.e. features you can see and use (such as a calendar and webdav). They have much better security than most mailproviders but e-mails sent in clear text are stored non encrypted. That is why they can provide pop3 and smtp without a "brige" program. They are based in Belgium that has nice privacy laws. I ve had a couple of issues but their support team was very helpful, it was solved in matter of minutes. It fits my needs and is easy to use. Totally recommend this.

I used to have a Gmail account, but I wanted to try something else as I discovered how deep some companies are spying on us. I heard about Mailfence on a forum and I decided to try it out. I am really satisfied with the simple interface and it is good to have some granted privacy.

Very secure, no ads, and it's based in Belgium, which has very strict privacy laws, so you know your data isn't being sold. My only complaint is that you can't connect your email to any third-party email app on the free and basic plans. Limiting such a basic feature to higher-paid plans is dubious enough that I'm removing two whole stars for it...
