Thank you, Proton was the provider I was leaning towards. I've also heard good things about a small Canadian company called xyz and was debating waiting for Thundermail. But what I'm seeing is that maybe the way to get around this is to obtain and use my own domain so it's not a hassle to switch if I choose to change providers.
For another email provider alternative, I would suggest Forward Email. I still haven't used them yet, but my goal is to switch to them from Proton when I get around to it.
I was thinking of playing around with email hosting, at least for offline backups, and I've been interested in using Stalwart.
I also suggest Porkbun for purchasing a domain.
No problem, and yes, that's correct - once you have your own domain then you can hop between providers a lot more easily as you don't need to change a thousand web accounts when you do. It's also useful if you move into self-hosting in the future.
