Runbox is a subscription-based email service located in Norway; your data is protected by strict Norwegian privacy legislation.

I discovered Runbox from the Free Software Foundation's list of recommended webmail systems and wanted to try it out.

I paid the annual cost for their Mini Plan and I have been using Runbox for over a month now. So far I have been happy with their service. Their webmail interface isn't the best looking but it doesn't matter to me since I use Thunderbird as my email client.

I’ve been using Runbox for a couple of years and agree the web interface is lacking. There were also multiple significant server outages last year, but it has been much more reliable this year. As long as you don’t use the webmail often, Runbox is a good affordable email provider and is great for families due to the low cost of sub accounts (additional users).

My family and I have been using Runbox for many years and it's never let us down. It's cheap and dependable, and - most importantly for us - hosted in a privacy-friendly Norway.

I can't comment on the webmail interface though. We never used it.

+1 for Runbox from me, yessiree.
