Nice website and interesting option of email provider. However, I haven’t been able to find much information about the company providing the service beyond “Mango Mail is an American company based in the state of Florida”. That (i.e, the limited information about the company, not the location) could be a deal breaker or, at least, a cause for concern for some people. It would be for me.

Some small providers are completely transparent about how small they are and share the information about the company. See, for example Purelymail https://purelymail.com/about .

Edit/note: To be clear, the point I tried to make has nothing to do with the location of the provider but about the lack or limited information about the company.

Why is that? Are you saying it's something to do with the US state of Florida itself, or something more general about the lack of company info on the website?

Edit: saw your edit, got it!

I explained that better adding a note to my original message. Nothing to do with Florida or any other location in the US or any other country.

What I meant was that before I make the decision to move email providers I would like to see more information about the company (the usual stuff. I suppose I could ask directly but being able to find that information on the website would be nice.

I love purelymail. I'm sending 20-30k emails a month for various work and home projects (not spam, real mail) and there has been no problems.

I don't understand this obsession with avoiding American providers. I actually would prefer my vendor to be located in the USA and the contract be subject to US law and knowing my information is located in the United States.

I really doubt the US government is interested in my email and if they are, I'm sure they can read it other ways.

I hope the note I added to my original message is enough to explain that my comment wasn’t about the location of the company but about what I think is very limited information about the company. I copied the quote from the website to illustrate what I meant by limited information. That was all.

I don’t live in the US, I don’t follow US politics and I have literally no idea about what's going on in Florida.

I'm glad someone finally said this. There is so much concern for "The government is spying on me" but the truth is, if you're doing something illegal, I don't even want you using it. The government only cares when you do something and they are forced to step in.

You're right. I'll fix this.
