FastMail doesn't have tags. What it does have? Let me copy/paste my comment from another thread: They have subdomain addressing, which is kind of like plus addressing, but better (not all places let you sign up with plus addressing). I've got my own domain, for example: mydomain.com. So my fastmail email address is depingus@mydomain.com. But with subdomain addressing, I can sign up for services with unique email addr…

You don't even need the subdomain addressing, a one catchall domain is enough (with you own domain).

Google Takeout will export all your mail in mbox format which is easily handled by mail programs like Apple Mail and Thunderbird and should let you sync everything to a new service (if that service won't let you transfer it themselves). I'm using iCloud+ from Apple. It's cheap at $1/mo for 50GB of space and lets me have my custom domains. $3/mo will get you family sharing and 200GB of space (if you want multiple acco…

I just moved my domain email over to Zoho following this news ($1/mo, was easy to set up). Seems to be working. Didn't feel like paying Google $6/mo.

Been using Migadu for half a decade now. Only catch is that there isn't a contact/calendar service. I've been told it's in in the works multiple times over the years, and I'll welcome it when it does release, but it might be a dealbreaker for some workplaces.

They have now implemented caldav and carddav so you can have your calendar and contacts linked to your email, but all the typical comfort of sending invites or confirming presence is still lacking.
