I want to stop using google services as much as possible, which is why I want to switch to a different email service. I don’t know which one I should switch too though. It would be great if someone could recommend a good alternative.
Good green and cheap choices : Posteo and Mailbox.org
At the end of the day it will depend on the amount of money that you are willing to spend on this (and 0 is a perfectly valid choice) but what I would suggest is that regardless of provider, you buy and use your own domain so that
- you own your identity
- can change providers in the future without sending a notice to all your contacts about the change
Use ProtonMail for generic, common stuff wherever your personal name and identity is attached. The reason is simple - it is the most commonly accepted email provider outside of GMail or Outlook.
If you want a secure private email for discrete communications, pick a better alternative from this guide https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/email.html
This is my personally applied strategy.
