May I ask why you did not like Tuta? They now have unlimited email addresses for custom domains, which is pretty neat IMO: https://tuta.com/blog/summer-releases-2023

I've been using Tutanota for years, but now I'm looking to migrate due to the missing IMAP/POP3 Bridge, inability to easily export all emails and slow search performance - Old emails essentially become irretrievable.

#34I've been using Proton for a few years with my custom domains; no complaints so far. Edit: Actually, when writing this I only had the web version in mind. I do have complaints about the Android app. It sometimes does not send an email and if you press the Send button again (because of no feedback/no idea if it's sending or not), it sometimes sends an _incomplete_ email. Which is actually a really big problem - I'm ju…
yep, the android app does not work. Proton had been working on a replacement for two years with little to no progress.
I have just migrated on to another provider because of Protons inability to provide a client on mobile (Downloading all my emails took 48 hours, indicating that Proton is doing what they can to hamper people ability to migrate away).
actually, their current Android app can potentially harm users: it will send previous unfinished versions of the email you are drafting resulting in the receiver getting bogus emails.

previously I used Proton but I recommend staying away form them at all costs.
1. their android app will send previous drafts and disregard your later edits. 2. That is if the android app even works. as other people reports, sometimes the send button does not respond. it also regularly just spins when trying to open an email. 3. they are discarding their Google reviews for their app. they used to have 20% 1 star reviews, which was reasonable.
in the end it seems they focus hard on marketing without maintaining their product. they have switched on the value extraction faucet.

Hi arran-nz, we plan to add batch-export in the near future. This how-to on how to export from the desktop clients will already help: https://tuta.com/support#generalMail
We also plan to re-build the search, as results on the browser are not good enough. In our apps (desktop & mobile) it works much better, please try search there!
Unfortunately, we can't build a bridge as this would leave your emails decrypted in a third-party client and open to tracking and vulnerabilities there. We can't allow that and promise maximum security at the same time... In the Tuta clients all your data is always encrypted.

#37I have been using Proton Mail.

#38Migadu has been good to me at $19/year for a couple domains, a few mailboxes and some decent features like distribution lists. They don't hard enforce limits and I've never come up or been warned about it.
Agreed. Opened thread just to recommend then.
Based in Switzerland and respects their laws.

#39I have personally used fastmail and I am happy.
I have personally felt Microsoft/Outlook service is better than Gmail. I have a couple of clients in shipping business, and they had issues with Gmail. Moved them to Outlook in 2018 and they are still happy.
Of recently, I have suggested Zoho to some clients. Its been good.

I've been a happy customer of protonmail for years. I exclusively use Android and have never experienced the issues described here when sending mail from the app. Obviously this is one person subjective view but I do recommend them as a company.
