I want to stop using google services as much as possible, which is why I want to switch to a different email service. I don’t know which one I should switch too though. It would be great if someone could recommend a good alternative.

      I can highly recommend Posteo. I have been using it for several years. It costs 12€ a year, but in my opinion that is a rather ridiculous amount to really think twice. In addition, you also get 2 alias email addresses. And if you don’t want to have a “xyz@posteo.de” address you can also choose to have e.g. a “@posteo.net” or “@posteo.com” email.

    At the end of the day it will depend on the amount of money that you are willing to spend on this (and 0 is a perfectly valid choice) but what I would suggest is that regardless of provider, you buy and use your own domain so that

    • you own your identity
    • can change providers in the future without sending a notice to all your contacts about the change

      I would second this. We have a .me domain and the costs including hosting are just a few euros a month. Pretty effortless actually.

      One thing I did notice is that some people sometimes don’t receive my emails. I guess that over-restrictive spam filters filter out the .me domain.

      I didn’t even know you could use your own domain, will probably do that

    I used to have protonmail account, but huge amount of spam and phishing mails made me switch to tutanota.

    And tutanota is really great in spam filtering, literally got 0 spam mails for the year of use.

      I personally use and have a premium account on tutanota, but I still dislike to have to use their client to be able to use tutanota accounts. It is fine on mobile, I guess, but I would like to use my own client on PC.

      They said at Protonmail, they will remove Google dependencies in the future and develop they own notif thing. The app will be available on the main official F-Droid repo!

    I use ProtonMail, an open source and secure email service.

    I highly suggest you to go for ProtonMail. I have been using their services for more than two years and I cannot be happier
