Latvia· Email Services
Needs review
Shortlist Inbox.eu when you need Latvia-hosted, ad-free SME email with large included storage, custom domains, IMAP clients, and business SSO under an EU operator. Skip when you require zero-knowledge E2E crypto or published ISO/SOC audits—consider Proton Mail, Tuta, Posteo, or mailbox.org instead.
Germany· Email Services
Needs review
Shortlist when you already (or will) host the domain and WordPress stack at RAIDBOXES and need practical multi-mailbox domain email under a German operator with an online DPA. Skip when you need multi-domain density, default E2EE, or email fully independent of a hoster—consider Migadu, Tuta, Posteo, or mailbox.org instead.

100 GB mailbox plus integrated Files storage
Premium accounts include a large combined email-and-files quota (business adds domain-level shared storage). Files supports multi-gigabyte uploads, share links, parallel downloads, and WebDAV mounting on desktop—useful for SMEs that want drive-like sharing without a separate vendor.
Custom domains with business admin panel
Business email lets you host unlimited domain mailboxes after DNS/MX validation, with admin controls for users, aliases, catch-all, and domain settings. A public demo of the admin experience is available for evaluation before signup.
Standard protocols plus mobile apps
Full IMAP, POP3, and SMTP (with TLS) for Thunderbird, Outlook, and other clients; calendar and contacts sync; official apps on iOS and Android. Fits teams that refuse webmail lock-in.
TLS, 2FA, spam filtering, and business SSO
Transport encryption with TLS 1.2+, optional two-factor authentication, multi-filter spam/malware scanning, and Business SSO via SAML 2.0 or LDAP (including common IdPs such as Azure AD and Google Workspace). This is hosted-email security, not zero-knowledge E2E.
Migration support and human multilingual help
Documented IMAP/CSV migration paths from Gmail and other providers, plus real-person support in English and Baltic languages rather than chatbot-only queues—material for SMEs without a dedicated mail ops team.
Mail Hosting 2.0 on RAIDBOXES infrastructure
IMAP/SMTP mailboxes on dedicated hostnames (mail-rb.securemail.pro / smtp-rb.securemail.pro) after the move off the prior mailbox.org cooperation. Vendor claims German data-centre locations and triple-redundant mail servers. Best for teams that want domain mail under the same German WordPress host rather than a separate privacy-mail brand.
Multi-mailbox plans with aliases, forwards, and catch-all
Tiered plans allocate a fixed number of mailboxes and a shared storage pool, plus per-mailbox alias and forwarding quotas, autoresponders, and catch-all (requires a dedicated catch-all mailbox). One connected domain per plan—confirm multi-domain needs before shortlisting.
Spam/virus filters, TLS, optional PGP, ad-free inboxes
All plans include spam and virus filtering, SSL/TLS for transfer, a blacklist checker, webmail, and ad-free inboxes. PGP is optional rather than default end-to-end encryption for every message—teams that need mandatory E2EE workflows should evaluate Tuta or a full mailbox.org stack instead.
Dashboard-adjacent domain and WordPress ops
Mailboxes are ordered from the RAIDBOXES dashboard and are intended to sit next to WordPress hosting and domain management. New RAIDBOXES mailboxes require the domain to be hosted with RAIDBOXES; legacy mailbox.org-linked domains follow a separate migration path documented in the help centre.
Online B2B DPA and German operator
Raidboxes GmbH (Münster) offers an online data processing agreement (AV contract) with technical-organisational measures. Useful for agencies that already sign a DPA for WordPress hosting and want the same counterparty for domain email—still review TOMs and subprocessor scope for mailbox vs platform tooling.

| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed EU (Latvia) controller SIA INBOKSS; vendor states 100% GDPR compliance and Latvia hosting. Confirm DPA and subprocessors for your workload. | Vendor claimed German controller (Raidboxes GmbH); product claims DE server locations and GDPR-aligned deletion; online DPA available. Confirm active mail stack vs privacy-policy mailbox.org listing. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial EU entity / no known US parent; mail claimed on own Latvia servers. Residual medium exposure via US-group web SaaS in privacy policy (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, hCaptcha, InMobi). Not legal advice. | Partial EU/German entity, no known US parent (team.blue BE group). Medium residual exposure via US-group platform subprocessors (AWS/DigitalOcean for online offer hosting; Intercom, Chargebee, Google tooling, Mailgun, etc.). Mail content path claimed DE-only. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Not found TOS mentions controller/processor roles under GDPR, but no standalone public DPA download found—request in writing. | Vendor claimed Online AV/DPA flow at raidboxes.io/en/dpa/ and DocuSign TOM path documented in help centre. |

| Considerations & known limitations | RAIDBOXES Emails | |
|---|---|---|
| No public ISO/SOC or independent audit | Medium Enterprise RFPs that require cert packs will stall until the vendor supplies private assurance materials. | Not listed |
| Not zero-knowledge E2E mail | Medium Operator-controlled storage with TLS in transit; legal-process access is acknowledged. Do not shortlist as a Proton/Tuta crypto peer. | Not listed |
| US-group tools on website privacy path | Medium Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, hCaptcha, and InMobi appear in the privacy policy even while mail is marketed as Latvia-only—align transfer assessments and cookies consent with this split. | Not listed |
| Public DPA / subprocessor list gap | Medium Processor language exists in TOS, but buyers still need a signed DPA and current subprocessors for regulated personal data. | Not listed |
| Operator also runs ad-supported portals | Low Inbokss group products include advertising-supported regional portals; verify contractually that paid Inbox.eu mailboxes stay ad-free and outside portal ad profiling. | Not listed |
| Domain must be hosted at RAIDBOXES | Not listed | Medium New mailboxes require the domain on RAIDBOXES. That is convenient for WP customers and a lock-in factor if you only wanted independent mail. |
| One connected domain per plan | Not listed | Medium Multi-domain operators need multiple plans or another provider; not a Migadu-style multi-domain account model. |
| PGP optional, not default E2EE | Not listed | Medium Threat models that assume provider-side unreadability by default are a better fit for Tuta or similar products. |
| US-group platform subprocessors | Not listed | Medium Privacy policy discloses AWS EMEA, DigitalOcean, Intercom, Chargebee, Google tools, Mailgun, and others for website/support/billing/marketing—even while email marketing claims German mail servers. Scope diligence to mailbox vs platform data paths. |
| Privacy policy may lag Mail Hosting 2.0 | Not listed | Low §Email box still lists mailbox.org/Heinlein while marketing claims first-party hosting—confirm live stack and subprocessor annex for your contract. |
| No public ISO/SOC/mail audit | Not listed | Medium B Corp is not a security certification. Enterprise security questionnaires may need NDA materials or alternative providers with published audits. |
When: You need open or heavily audited zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted mail
Consider: Proton Mail or Tuta
Different crypto posture than TLS-hosted conventional mail
When: You prefer German jurisdiction and a long-standing privacy-host reputation
Consider: Posteo or mailbox.org
Often leaner storage; strong EU privacy positioning
When: You already depend on Docs/Drive/Meet or full Microsoft 365 collaboration
Consider: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
Inbox.eu is not a suite replacement
When: You want Belgian dual-key / open-source-oriented secure mail
Consider: Mailfence
Different feature and crypto tradeoffs
When: You need multi-domain, usage-based professional mail without WordPress host lock-in
Consider: Migadu
Swiss-operated, standards-based hosting priced by quotas rather than per-domain WordPress adjacency
When: You need default E2EE and a privacy-first client model
Consider: Tuta
Different threat model; less IMAP flexibility than RAIDBOXES
When: You want privacy-oriented German personal/business mail without hosting coupling
Consider: Posteo or mailbox (formerly mailbox.org)
mailbox is also the former RAIDBOXES mail partner and a deeper digital-workplace option
When: You need Google/Microsoft suite collaboration, not just domain mailboxes
Consider: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
US Big Tech residency and CLOUD Act profile differ sharply—use only if suite features dominate
