if anyone needs to move mail storage from one IMAP server to another (eg; Purelymail) I can highly recommend https://imapsync.lamiral.info/
Not for it's website graphic design, but as a CLI tool that works perfectly. "source server -->> target server" and let it run

But you can’t debundle those — you cannot get ProtonMail (which doesn’t have IMAP) without ProtonCalendar (which doesn’t have CalDAV), ProtonVPN, Proton Password Manager, and an expanding suite of services I already have solutions for that I like better. Being cheaper and only doing mail is a huge plus.
It looks like standalone Proton Mail might still be available: https://proton.me/mail/pricing

It is, but he has someone ready if he gets hit by a bus.
Don’t take this the wrong way — really, no hate — but I find it amusing that a cryptic comment from a green-text account on HN is the best business continuity planning documentation available :D
Delaware incorporation is the norm, but for anyone who cares about dragnet surveillance, the state of incorporation is important, as well as the country. Proton also does end-to-end encrypted email and supposedly, your emails are never stored decrypted, they are decrypted in your browser and in ingress/egress out of their environment. They're also hosting in switzerland. That said, like many, I also am looking for an…
....means nothing. Unless you know something the rest of us don't?
Seems like a reasonable alternative to Proton for multiple domains: email that costs money instead of being haunted by AI. That logo is creepy though, and implies exactly the opposite.
Their comparison of themselves to Proton is rather deceptive. If you're willing have only 1GB of storage, instead of 3GB, you can get proton for free. And at the price they list ($48/yr), you'd get 15GB storage, plus a lot more. And no, I was not paid by proton to say this. I only have the free plan.

I don't agree with you. A key reason to host your email with a reliable cloud storage provider is to have backups handled for you. Fastmail is particularly good in that respect, since it takes periodic backups for you, allowing deleted items to be accessed. To put things in perspective, I dare say that many large commercial organisations who rely on Office 365 are not backing up emails locally. They do likely have fa…

I'm genuinely surprised no one has mentioned mxroute[1]. Thier pricing normally is pretty decent, but they keep the BF deals going pretty much all year [2]. I've been using them for 6 years with no issues. I use it now with all my domains and never have any deliverability issues. The owner (Jar - one person shop again) is passionate about their email reputation for deliverability and is active on both lowendtalk and…

The risk is not that they shut down, the risk is that you lose your hosting account. It happens all of the time. Downloading your mailbox is trivial, comparing it to self-hosting is not accurate. (I do both.)
Why would I lose access to my Fastmail account? That risk is a remote one. I have 2FA, they take backups and provide support, and they are a reliable company (at least, not a one-person operation).
Essentially you just have to configure mutt on a *nix host to download your email once an hour. 10 minute set up time?
Miles different from managing your own email infrastructure.
I also use this. Pros: super cheap. Cons: UI is bad, so you'll want to access through a client. 1 person shop. Not audited AFAIK.
