Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

    If you’re moving your email address consider using a mail alias. If you move again in the future it will make the process a whole lot easier as you won’t need to go to all your sites to update your email address. You only need to update the one email address with the alias provider.

    I use simplemail with my own domain

      I just set up my own domain for e-mail and I use aliases for signups. Why would I use an alias for my main email if I have my domain? Just trying to figure out if I should be thinking about setting that up

      This is what I’m most concerned about with moving away from Gmail. I have literally everything associated with my Google email address and, since almost every website uses email as credentials, it means I’ll have to create new accounts for everything. If I move to a new email, I’m worried if they go belly-up or just flat out close my account then I’ll lose access to everything.

      I’ll have to look into using an alias, that would clear up a lot of my concerns.
