Woekli Mail

Signing up requires JavaScript and a non-empty user agent; they allege to activate your account in 48h (because of the "huge demand", yeah right!) - but I've been waiting for like 6 days, and still can't login. Maybe they disliked my obviously fake name, or TOR usage...who knows. UPDATE: someone reported being able to sign up and login through a VPN, so this might be a TOR block during signup. Though, the actual reason a sign-up is allowed or denied is still not known for certain. He then gave me the account details and I was able to confirm a login, even through TOR - though it took a minute or more to load, so I was sure it just froze. The login screen also fails half the time with unspecific errors ("An error occurred. Please refresh the page and try again."). Anyway, let's probe a little further as my handle demands. The free tier lacks mail client support, and so is doubly useless. The first paid tier costs 60 CHF (very similar value to an Euro) per year; so comes out to over 4 per month - one of the highest rates of all the providers out there. And that one doesn't even have all the features - missing custom domains and aliases. If you want that, better reach deep into that pocket for 200 CHF. Either way - if you want to get into any of the paid tiers, you need to dox yourself with "City", "Post code", and "Street name and number". The only accepted payments are by "PayPal or credit card", "Bank transfer", or a "PostFinance Card/E-Finance" (what even is this?). Either way, no crypto, so you're getting doubly screwed. If - after all the abuses - you still want Woekli, maybe take a look at their Privacy policy that doesn't actually say anything about what they store or for how long. The sign-up process also requires accepting their ToS that's in...German only. Could this big corporation existing since 2002 really not have figured out translations? I cannot imagine a reason to use (or rather - get used by) Woekli Mail; hey, it has the famous "Swiss privacy laws" :D. Or maybe being "100% green" will satisfy the environmentalists. Thanks for the assurance, but if the service itself is terrible, it doesn't mean much.
