Just wondering what email services are y'all using? I see:

- Gmail -- maybe not good with privacy - Yahoo - (?) - Microsoft/Outlook - (?) - Hey.com - very opinionated but it seems good - Proton -- seems good and privacy first - Fastmail - privacy first

Is there any other good service ?

I have been starting to use Proton, no real complaints about it so far but have yet to leave gmail. Fairly sick of various aspects of gmail/google and am ready to move on.

I've seen https://purelymail.com/ and many claim it's a great option and cheap option.

I also need to leave gmail, and I keep saying that to myself every year
