Mxroute, migadu, purelymail (in beta). Can also consider Gandi.net which gives two 3G email when you use them as domain registrar, their domain pricing however is not the cheapest you can find.

#43We just migrated to Fastmail.

#44As alternative I would suggest Office365, but If you used Google workspace for so long, why not just pay Google? Why you have to change. Just pay and do nothing... They invested billions for you to use it for free so long. Its a good service.
Does paying them make you safe from their algorithms blocking your access at any point with no appeal? If yes it's probably the right answer, if no go with a company that is not primarily dealing with free users and has real customer service.

#46HN is a hard place for people who like Microsoft but I'll tell you that a single user Office 365 Business Essentials subscription is a great deal. Along with e-mail you get a terabyte of Sharepoint (OneDrive) storage, online versions of office apps, and Teams. $5/mo. There's an IMAP migration tool. Just turn on IMAP on your Gmail account if it's not already enabled and let the O365/Exchange wizard suck all the e-mail…
I’ve been considering this, but how good is the spam filtering included with this plan? Do people often end up bolting on 3rd-party spam filters in front of Business Essentials?

> How do you replace those? These days? Pretty easily! Fastmail also has an email client, and a calendar. The calendar is integrated into its email service too. And the calendar integrates really well with iCal / CalDAV. I find fastmail syncs calendar entries between my apple devices more reliably than apple's own icloud. The big hole in fastmail's offering is that they have no replacement for google docs & spreadshe…
One thing I like about Fastmail is the ability to serve static web content directly from the “Files” section of their apps/website. Since they already manage the domain for email, spinning up static sites at subdomains is really easy and really nice.
I'm a new fastmail customer. Fastmail doesn't control my domain how does this feature work?

#48How is self-hosted email these days? Are there web-based email clients with search, filters, and labels?

#50I have used Zoho for my burner domain for a couple of years.
It's functional and works ok, but is not as slick as Gmail (both web and app)
