Private email you can pay for anonymously
2 providers here let you pay anonymously - by cash sent in the post - so a paid mailbox stays off your identity. Posteo rates highest. If you pay for a private mailbox with a card, the payment ties the account straight back to your legal name - undoing an anonymous signup. Paying anonymously (cash by post) keeps the account identity-free even on a paid plan. Native Monero checkout is rare among mailboxes, so cash is the reliable anonymous route here.

Which private email providers accept anonymous payment?
Posteo
The benchmark for how it should be done: sign up with no name, phone or alternate email; pay by cash sent in the post; and an audit by the German federal data-protection regulator confirmed it holds no customer-linkable IP logs. No documented handover on record.

Anonymous payment — questions
Why does anonymous payment matter for private email?
A card or PayPal payment links a private mailbox straight back to your legal name and bank, which defeats the point of an anonymous signup. Paying in cash sent by post (which a couple of providers deliberately support and decouple from the account) keeps a paid account as identity-free as a free one.
