    Proton for personal email. Not immediately needing to escape but once my free email runs out of storage I plan to switch to something else because of the concerns raised by the incident with the French climate activist.

    Purely Mail, yes; so long as you’re comfortable with one guy running the service.

    Thunderbird for desktop and K-9 for Andriod. Only because they were the most recommended and completely fit my needs.

    Fastmail, 100%. Reasons:

    • “Encrypted email” only works between encrypted providers. ProtonMail and Tutanota are both very inconvenient, and all I want is an email that’s not scanned for marketing.
    • Since 2018, ProtonMail kept getting worse, especially with the recent AI stuff. Dodged bullet, IMO.
    • $6/month = Custom domains, and any amount of emails under those domains. I can send and receive from any domain xxx@yyy [dot] lynndotpy [dot] dev, for example.
    • CalDav and CardDav provider = Contacts, calendar, and reminders sync. Works perfectly on iOS too, if you like that.

    It replaced my finnicky NextCloud for half the cost.

    Ionos.
    Too lazy to selfhost. Also the implications of self hosting and securing email is too cumbersome to sleep well at night.
    But I do self host non-important to my living at home.

    Edit:
    Inbox: Outlook. Tried eM-Client but it was worse than Outlook (around 2018 or 19)

    Mxroute with thunderbird as a client and mail on iOS for mobile.

    Unlimited domains and rock solid. Just don’t expect lots of hand holding the company focuses on making email work you have to sort out your own details. That being said they have good documentation.

      2nd Mxroute. I got the black Friday deal a few years ago. I love using the catchall to make emails on the fly for when I sign up for different services.

        I do exactly the same thing. Some more spam from time to time but usually thunderbird catches that for me.

    Mailfence and Protonmail.

    Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.

    I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.

    I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

    Proton, yes. There are some criticisms to make regarding them, but I think most are either blown out of proportion or a non issue for the majority of people.
