Has anyone of you ever used (or currently use) an e-mail provider other than the bogstandard g-mail and outlook duopoly?
I would like to get into more "premium" e-mail experience without ads and other bullshit attached to running my own and just pay for one. The only one I know of is FastMail but I have no idea whether it's actually good and if there's a better alternative and I'd like to hear some feedback from more experienced users.
I've been excited about TutaNota (since their pricing seems fair) until I learned that they require a dedicated application to run outside of webbrowsers since they don't support standard IMAP/SMPT
For the long term Gmail and Outlook. Imagine losing your email address because some small company goes bust. Excite doesn't allow new registrations anymore.
I've been using FastMail for over a year now, on recommendation, it's pretty good

Use Protonmail for serious stuff and cock.li for trashmails.

I've had Fastmail for a few years now and I will be moving away from it when my subscription runs out in August (had a three year plan) to a self hosted solution in a non-14 eyes country. I've already got a Romanian VPS from an Icelandic hosting company.
There's nothing wrong with Fastmail. I just refuse to give money to internet hosting companies in the 14 eyes now. "Vote with your wallet" as they say.

I used to host my own personal email. I think that's what everyone did back then.
Alexander Rogers
lol good luck sending email to any big server
Joshua Gomez
True. Because of the incident. Otherwise, it's again up & running.
If you are looking to get away from Google/Microsoft they are pretty good.
Obviously they have the issues with the new Australian legislation that you probably know about unless you have been living under a rock, but in theory it shouldnt really effect them because they are not set up on 0 knowledge encryption and have already been complying with government requests for information for ages. But atleast its not the NSA having direct pipes into the servers.
If you really have reason to keep your emails private from the government because you believe it effects your safety in some way, go ahead and probably use Protonmail or something, but its a little overkill for just standard everyday stuff. And the fastmail webclient is great, probably better then gmail.

Don't use Protonmail they got hacked and have inredibly aggressive shills. They'll probably show up in 5..4..3..2...

Never had any problems before.

Fastmail has good web UI, good apps, calendar support, 2FA, unlimited aliases (afaik). All in all I'm pretty satisfied, migrated from and imported a 10+ year gmail inbox, was relatively painless.

cockli with PGP, everything else is shit

what domain?
Ryder Murphy
Agreed, user. >Cock.li is your go-to solution for professional E-mail .

I've tried most of the recommendations in this thread and always end up coming back to Gmail simply because of Google's integration with everything else I use. To each his own, though.

Looks good but not in English, hueanon.

lol good lie
Blake Morgan
Most people who go through with it actually want to get away from Google services. Congrats on being a lazy faggot
James Hernandez
Well, a lot of ppl use Gmail. If he's happy with the botnet, why not? Whatever floats his boat.
Have never had any problems and have been able to store a bunch of pirated crap and a shitton of loli along with email with no problems. They just send me a notice every 6 months saying they denied some DMCA requests.
I’ve been using protonmail for a while now but they’re starting to sketch me out. The internet has become too centralized and i think we all need to start dialing back the centralization as much as we can personally. I feel like self hosting on my own hardware at home is the best way to go but it seems like a huge pain in the ass. Self hosting on a vps seems like the most pragmatic approach for a self hosted solution. When I get the time that is my plan.
Daniel Miller
But if you self host on a VPS it’s already on a big server hehe

That run box one looks interesting
James Reyes
Runbox appears to be super-legit and relatively inexpensive. Anyone had any experience?
Also, if I wanted to register a domain name, what the best no-bullshit place to go through these days?
Michael Cooper
If you want paid/professional email, you can try these:
- Kolab. Pros: Excellent roundcube UI, just werks. Discounts for multiple email. Monthly payment possible. Cons: Price - Mailbox.org Pros: Cheap. Monthly payment possible. Cons: Need to contact support just to get your account properly activated, even after payment. Setting up group accounts is a hassle. Not recommended for SOHO - runbox. Pros: Cheap. Good admin interface. Cons: 1998 UI(but you can use their updated beta UI) - Proton - Pros: Clean UI. Easy alias management. Cons: Web UI is buggy on mobile. No IMAP.
Regardless of choice, the most professional thing you can do is get your own domain so you're never locked into any of these providers.
