What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google’s Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Tutanota uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with email clients, so an app is needed. Perhaps “needs client app” means that.
That could be since I don’t know Tutanota. But an email provider who doesn’t support IMAP/SMTP sounds kinda weird to me. But mailbox.org doesn’t need their client. They support normal protocols: https://kb.mailbox.org/de/privat/e-mail/e-mail-konfiguration/
It’s not that they don’t support IMAP or SMTP. They do, but only sending or receiving external emails. All operations from the client go through internet in their proprietary protocol to their server, then industrial standard protocols with other parties.
