I read too many negative things on Mail.com in order to give them a try. It's a shame. They have some very good email domains. I think europe.com is also owned by them. But a neat domain is not worth a lot when the service has too many flaws.

Mail.de is the same company also owning mail.co.uk, mail.fr and I think mail.ch which are all very nice domains. But do they accept registrations from non-residents of those specific countries?
As I go to the UK now and then, I thought of a .co.uk email address as in the UK .co.uk is king and thus easy for locals to remember an email address. mail.co.uk is one of the best British email domains available. But I won't sign up if it is open only to UK residents.

email.net is very nice too. But is it ContactOffice, Mail.be or Mailfence providing that domain?
I haven't tried any of these services, but I did read quite a lot of articles comparing secure and privacy-focused providers. Mailfence often gets a not very good score (while Tuta and Proton almost always get a very good score in those articles).
Mailfence wouldn't be an option for me anyway, because they don't accept physical keys as a 2FA method.

I don't live in those countries, but I was able to register and log in successfully with my country's IP address. I successfully sent and received a few emails before the account disappeared one day for no reason, even though I had an email recovery address. I've also written about this issue before (https://www.emaildiscussions.com/sho...34&postcount=6).

In summary, the domain name is nice, but the service is terrible.

I am a bit confused if ContactOffice, Mail.be, and Mailfence are all the same service, just offering different domains (which seems to include email.net now) or if they just work together on some domains but are 3 different services in the end.

I do recall, but that was several years ago, having been explained that Mail.be is a separate service that however uses the infrastructure of ContactOffice. Not sure if this is still the case or if they merged alltogether.

As for Mailfence: there seems to be a link to ContactOffice (and mail.be?) too, but they seem to operate in a different way and thus seem to be a stand-alone service rather than being part of ContactOffice.



I realise I should know this, living in Belgium myself. But really, none of these services ever gets mentioned in the Belgian media or press, except maybe very occasionally in specialised IT- or computer-related magazines. The regular newspapers and TV broadcasters never mention these services. Hence, not many Belgians know they excist, and thus not many Belgians use them.

Mail.be at some point (but that's over 10 years ago) did get use in the academical world, with teachers in higher education recommending it to students.

However, overall most Belgians use either Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, or the email provided by their local ISP.
Not many Belgians have heard of ContactOffice, Mail.be or Mailfence, except those who do research on privacy- and security-focused providers. (but not many people do that, sadly enough)
