Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

What features in Fastmail are you missing in Proton?

  • Syncing of calendar and contacts with android
  • Infinite alias with my own domain
  • no spam and trash in all mail
  • read/write sync with external calendar (google calendar for example)
  • catch all sending email address

There is another important feature too that I need, but I don’t know if proton supports it. Fastmail currently manage the emails from 2 of my domains. I also supply an email address from one of those domains to each member of my family. I need to be able to forward every email received to a specific address to a Gmail address. The emails must skip my mailbox completely and not look as a simple forwarded email in their Gmail.

I share my Google Calendar with my wife (also on Google). If I wanted to modify or even view her calendar, is that still possible?

This is also what I do, I think it’s impossible with Proton, though you can with Fastmail. This is the feature request for proton mail: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/42344065-read-write-sync-with-other-calendars-office365-g

I’m currently still using Google calendar with Fastmail, I can edit in fastmail and everything is synced with Google calendar.

I’m willing to stop using Google services, but I can’t ask the same from others. This is why I still use google calendar and google photos. To share with my family.
