What it does
Runbox provides subscriber-funded email hosted in Norway. Webmail, IMAP, POP, SMTP, calendar and contact synchronization support are documented alongside domain and alias features.
Runbox puts conventional email interoperability at the center of a privacy-focused hosting service. It supports webmail and the POP, IMAP and SMTP protocols, while CardDAV and CalDAV cover contacts and calendars. That makes it a candidate for moving a domain without changing every app that uses the account.
The official plans describe different storage and domain allowances, including aliases on Runbox domains and a user’s own domain. Start with the domain and mailbox requirements, then compare plans. Runbox’s renewable-energy and Norwegian-hosting statements describe its operating model; they do not replace message-level encryption when a conversation needs it.
