I'm going to plug fastmail. Rationale: (1) tech support that actually reads your messages and replies with a solution demonstrating comprehension of the message that you wrote. Amazing. I've emailed them twice and gotten a great response both times. (2) it is the best UI I've seen outside gmail; (3) They have continued actively developing their UI, with nice updates released perhaps in the last 6 weeks. (4) keyboard…
One thing I'd recommend is getting your own domain for email (looks like mailbox.org allows custom domains with some plans). You never know what will happen to your email provider in the future, so having the freedom to move your domain to a different provider is valuable.
Renewing your domain, keeping your registrar account safe, keeping your DNS records safe etc
Some people prefer a domain registrar that allows 10 year renewals so pick carefully as not all do

I love the concept of PGP and how well it seems to be integrated. I also don't know a single person who uses it or a provider/software capable of decrypting it.

I spent the past month "de-Googling" my life after I saw a notice in my Gmail inbox that it was 20 years old. I took a step back and realized just how invested into the Google ecosystem I was. Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Maps, Keep, Photos, YouTube, FitBit, Android. Basically my entire digital life. My goal was more diversifying than security/privacy, but security/privacy is a really nice bonus. I ended up going wi…
I'd really like to just run my own Postfix, Dovecot, SpamAssassin stack, but it seems totally discouraged these days just on the basis of email sender reputation.

It's not as bad as some make it out to be. Check out Stalwart, as it is much easier for a newcomer to mail hosting to manage.

How do you de-google yourself properly when every 3rd website stops working entirely unless you whitelist some google stuff in your content blocker?
Something to be aware of if you're considering mailbox.org: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/anti-spoofing-for-cus...
Oh, thank you. I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm not using a custom domain on mailbox, I use my custom mail domain with another service.
