They're still an American company. Better than Google, for sure, but the CLOUD Act means that when the US demands all your email, they will get it – even if the servers are located in Europe.
I contacted Cranemail and they are a US company registered in Wyoming. Oh well. I think leaving your email on someone else's server isn't really the right way to do it anyway. It's gotten very difficult to self-host SMTP, but self-hosting IMAP isn't too bad, or you can just regularly pull and delete your email from a hosted IMAP, transferring it into your own and possibly making an encrypted backup.
Thanks for investigating this!
I think the company is Canadian but I haven't checked. BuyVM was defnitely Canadian and was run by the same guy. You have to assume that email is never private anyway, since the person at the other end probably is on gmail, may have used CrapGPT, and so on.
Hm, interesting. The website at least doesn't look to me like it's Canadian:
Of course it could still be, and email privacy is of course endangered by many other things. However, if someone does go through the hassle of shifting everything to a different email account, I would say best make sure to get a good distance from the US right off the bat.
I think it's similar with buyvm.net which is definitely Canadian, but I'm looking into it.
Wow. The LES crowd on lemmy. Nice.
I have one of those namecrane accounts. Works pretty well
