Kolab Now
Switzerland
Swiss-hosted email and groupware that keeps your data under Swiss privacy law, not Google's.
European Alternative to:
Kolab Now is a hosted groupware service run by Kolab Systems, a Swiss company based in Zurich. It offers email, calendar, contacts, and file storage, all running on servers in Switzerland and subject to Swiss data protection law. The service is built entirely on open-source software, the same Kolab stack used by governments and enterprises that run self-hosted deployments.
The privacy angle is the main reason people pay for it over a free alternative. Swiss law gives it a different legal footing than services hosted in the US or EU, which matters to journalists, lawyers, and anyone who doesn't want their data reachable via a US court order. The pricing is per-user and straightforward, with no advertising and no data mining.
Kolab Now supports standard protocols like IMAP, CalDAV, and CardDAV, so it works with any standard mail client or calendar app. There's also a web interface based on Roundcube. It's not trying to compete on slick design or AI features; it's a reliable, privacy-focused alternative for users who care more about jurisdiction than inbox tabs.
