I've been using Google Apps/Google Suite for the past 10+ years, recently upon clicking the "Not Spam" button I had an email (from a govt agency no less) be gone from the account, the experience with support for a service I do pay for has been abysmal and I want to switch, but don't know where - especially given the integration Google has with everything nowadays. I have used Tuta before and did not enjoy it.

#2icloud+ and custom domain works fine for me. icloud+ is $0.99/month and it comes with other features like hide my email (I didn’t know I need it until I discovered it) and extra space in iCloud storage (I don’t use it).

#4I've been using Proton for a few years with my custom domains; no complaints so far.

Which is actually a really big problem - I'm just lucky enough for it to be a rare occurrence because I usually only send email from desktop.

#10I use Google Apps now because the pricing for Googlers is too good to pass up (practically free, 48 times cheaper than iCloud+), but before that when I was being frugal I just set up gmail with my own domain (no payment required).
