What Email service you use and why?

[CREATISH]

Was on Gmail for years and got so used to the UI which I enjoyed and great spam filters, also was useful doing . inbewteen as an alias as many other clients don't allow this

Recently switched to try to get me away from Google and not use google account to link everything together.

 

I now use mail.com mainly for the domain, my email is my [email protected] which is quite short and professional I think.

 

Ads are more intrusive then gmails being in random order where Gmail was always on top and More obvious, however, mail.com can create 9 alias email addresses at the time which is really handy. The only downside is you have to click login every time. (yes I use auto save password I DC)

 

What do you use and why? Like the sound of services that you pay but worried they could dissapear in x years whereas mail.com gmail and other have been around for age and seem more stable

I use outlook.com as the service is good and it's compatible with both Windows 10 Mail and Outlook. It works nicely on my phone's Outlook client, too.

 

I have a personal domain and tie that in so that my e-mail looks personalised.

So you are using outlook just as your GUI,

 

who do you use as provider for personal email, do you own a domain website or another way? if so how much you pay a month

Gmail, have done for 14 years. Annoyed Inbox has been retired, but oh well.

Protonmail. I have a Gmail account as well, which I used for years but decided the other year that I'd like to scale back my dependence on Google for reasons of privacy. Protonmail uses zero-access encryption, so is about as private as it gets. It also support +aliases, just like Google does. Pretty much all of my email now goes through Protonmail, and I've migrated or deleted most email history from Google.

 

Protonmail have a free tier, but I've upgraded to a paid 'Plus' account so that I can use more storage, more addresses and a custom domain (handy for if I ever have to switch email provider). The downsides are that zero-access encryption limits you to using their mobile client, and you can't search against the body of emails, but I can live with that.

GSuite / GApps for Business on my own domain. They offered it for free for a while and anyone who took advantage of the offer back then can still use it without charges.

For my own domain, I use Migadu, hosted in Switzerland:

The interface is rather basic, but I haven't required anything fancier so far.
