I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I’m not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

Proton and Tutanota are both privacy-centric providers who have been around a good amount of time. I’d say both are a good option if you don’t want to self-host.

I totally recommend tutanota. I use the free.

Can I ask how you deal with it? Free tutanota lacks even the most basic features i.e. offline mode/search. I switched to proton after a month, it was infuriating

I just use it for ordering stuff and for registering to newsletters. It’s fine, but yeah sometimes you want to find older emails and it’s a pain in the ass to do that, because of the search function.
