Tuta. Regardless of email provider, chose one that lets you use your own domain - that way it's easier to change providers.
I’ve been using Tuta for several years now, I didn’t know I could use my own domain!
Paid tiers only i think, but yes.
I am a paid tier… and I have my own business… this is really something I need to do.
Do it. It’s very straightforward.
Whenever you need to switch providers such as if Tuta decides to support fascism like Proton’s CEO, you can easily switch to a new provider. Then add your domain to the provider, update your DNS records to point to your new provider, click Save. Done. And you won’t have to change your email addresses ever again.
This is amazing, thank you
I strongly recommend this as well. Swapped to Tuta and my own domain after leaving Proton. Having a domain for future moves is huge, I wish I had considered it sooner.
I like to dish out advice without actually following it.
Me to a depressed internet stranger: "Life is worth living"
Also me: Want to end my life every day
oh yeah, I have my own domain since Uhm 2004 and have switched providers about, hm, six times without problems. I never delete emails either (spam I do) and just use Thunderbird's drag and drop to move MA mails from one server to another.
Proton lets you do that too.
