Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit… anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I’m sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don’t even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren’t gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I’m not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I’m specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

    I’m currently moving (for the last year) from Gmail to mailbox.org.

    They have a free level, but I wanted aliases, so I pay $30/year. Worth every penny.

      Same here. Moved from Outlook to Mailbox a year ago and I’m happy with it, using mostly custom domains with catch all. I havo also recently enabled encryption which wasn’t hard to integrate into my mail clients at all. They dont have a free plan, but the cheapest plan is 1€/month (which doesn’t allow custom domains).

      I’ve been there for several years as well. Works great, and I get pretty much no spam.

      At one point they offered “envelope with money sent via postal service” as an anonymous payment option, IDK if they still do that.

      Been with MailBox.org for ages and it’s been absolutely fantastic. Proton had very limited offerings at the time, but even now I haven’t felt the need to move.

      I think the most basic email offering is €1/month.
