Posteo

Posteo is an email service provider based in Berlin, Germany, offering paid email accounts for individuals and businesses. The service gained prominence during the aftermath of the post-2013 global surveillance disclosures,[1][2] especially for its high standard security features and relative anonymity as it does not require any private information in the registration process.[1]
