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.

    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.
