        I’ve been with Fastmail for about a year and a half now. The number of complaints in their subreddit about outages had me a little worried but I’ve never once missed out on an important email or anything like that.

        My literal only complaint is lack of offline viewing for messages but I just run K-9 and shit’s solid.

          Didn’t even know they had messages, I haven’t used the web interface since I signed up pretty much!

          I just set it up with my email client way back when and that’s it. Can’t say I’ve noticed any outages, but maybe that’s just me not paying enough attention

          Edit: huh, seems there’s a lot I’ve missed out on… I’ll have to have a proper look in the morning

          I had a look and my first email on that account was in 2008 lol

      I use Proton as well and it’s been great, but setting up their bridge for IMAP access in a way that worked for my setup was needlessly annoying (run on a headless server and access it from other devices within the network and docker containers on said server).

    I’ve been using Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook but there is just so much spam that comes through.

      I’ve also been using Gmail since it launched. I support the privacy movement and agree with concerns around their usage of users’ data, but I’m just too far dug into the Google ecosystem and too dependent on that particular email address for all my sign-in stuff where I don’t want to spend the time migrating somewhere else.

      I’ve just moved from outlook to my own domain on proton. Mainly due to spam. The spam filter just wouldn’t catch it and it was all really obvious shit with the same titles, constantly coming through regardless of how many times I reported it.

    proton and tutanota come to mind first, proton seems to be going for an integrated ecosystem of apps (vpn, cloud storage, password manager etc.) so it might be a good choice if you want to move away from google’s ecosystem. it is all personal preference though, some people don’t like the idea of putting too much trust on one entity and i can’t blame them

    Edit: I was making a reference to the US version of the office. The way the question was phrased, I could not resist. Sorry everyone who thought I was serious!

    Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.

    I use it to get mail from two other accounts.

    I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.

    If you want to attach your own domain, I’ve been using Zoho and having no significant issue (although I haven’t really tried anything else). Otherwise, Apple’s seems to be the best value, surprisingly?

      I’ve also been using Zoho for a couple of years now and am quite happy, especially considering the low price.

      The only annoyance I’ve had is how many menus/pages they have in their web admin. Always takes me a while to find the right page where I can add an email alias to be able to send mails from or to generate an app specific password.
