For private stuff - My own domain, my own hosting. My rules, my server, my email. For public spam shit - protonmail. No google or other shit. People MUST learn the difference between PRIVATE and PUBLIC.

I wrote an article about this: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/avoid-being-spammed

I use gmail like a total normie.

Become a paying ProtonMail user, get VPN, Drive and Calendar all encrypted. Pair this with using SimpleLogin-aliases. For paying Proton users, an SL-mail account is included, and you can simply go in to that service using ProtonMail login.

Using aliases like this "stacker.xqk37@slmail.me" and the receiver of your emails won't even know what email service provider you are using. + If you start getting spam, you know who leaked it, and you can just turn off that alias.

I recommend https://runbox.com

Protonmail and Skiff.

Cloudron provides full self-hosted email and associated DNS management as well as many other services: https://www.cloudron.io/

gmail. i tried using pm.me but gmail is just the best.

You didn't try Migadu?

Protonmail here. I've pared down my use of centralised services now to about 4 or 5 maybe, and those are on the chopping block too. At some point only banks, kraken and things like DNS registries will be in my emails.

Email is so ancient, literally nearly 50 years old, but until there is an as universally used decentralised long form private messaging system it's gonna hang around like a bad smell.

BTW, it mentions "authoritarian governments" blocking access to protonmail. That list includes the Irish government!

Protonmail. Interesting, I didn't realize they don't encrypt subject lines - good to know.

protonmail is way overrated in my opinion. and i heard it got sold to some sktechy Israeli company involved in the intelligence industry. (maybe someone else has more info on that) i used to use it but switched to fastmail after learning about it on hacker news. never looled back.

I use gmail but I’d like to switch to proton or host my own

own domain, own server.

most important feature of your own domain is that you can use a catchall address and give every merchant / website its own emailaddress to send mails to you.

So if they spam you or sell your email address, you just forward that one address to NIL and dont have to deal with spam.

Protonmail

I have my own domain, so I periodically change my host on occasion. Right now I am using iCloud custom email hosting.

I use duck mail

Bought domain and hosting with dynadot.com Great customer service

Protonmail and hey.com

We like what we're doing to de-google. https://federated.computer. Full launch soon. Send us a note to get in on the preview: info@federated.company.

My recommendation is for Proton with your own domain. Its drawbacks are pretty minimal, and now it has a mobile calendar app and a VPN + email alias tool (SimpleLogin) bundled with it, too. A much better solution than gmail anyway.
