I moved to proton, then found out about their CEO (fuck Nazi apologists) and moved again to tuta. I've been very happy with their service. It's just email/calendar, so more like 'no issues to report'.

Switched my custom domain to mailbox.org from icloud
Looking for a good option but I can't convince myself any are good enough to switch. I've created trial/free accounts for all the services I can find but the webmail just isn't as good.
Tuta has been cool. Not sure if I want to commit yet though. Hate that can't use thunderbird with a free-account but I am considering just getting a paid account.

Tuta!
Did not need to switch as I've been using my own domain names (French registrar with French and/or German hostings) since I created my first website... back when quite a few of you reading this today were not even born yet. No, that does not mean I'm that old. Absolutely not :p
I also have a proton and a tuta account (and @ mailbox.org one), just in case someone prefers a more privacy-friendly email than my non-encrypted domain emails, and since neither tuta or Proton are compatible when exchanging encrypted emails, I have both. That being said, I seldom use them: most people simply don't care about privacy.
I use(d to use) gmail for all crappy online stuff I don't care much about losing access to. I will probably end up getting rid of it entirely but, to me at least, even though I know it's possible to do it without a YT account, that would also mean quit watching YT, which is something I still appreciate doing.

mailbox.org I still have iCloud as second mail, while I tried to exclude Gmail as much a I could, but I cannot delete it entirely yet. Right know about 90% of all the email are on Mailbox.
I've set up my Proton mail but haven't moved stuff over yet. Any good alternatives to Google Authenticator?
I use 2FAs. It's open-source but it seems to be based in Nevada.. Otherwise great app.
Proton pass has this functionality. You can also give it a separate password so if someone gets access to your proton email they can't get into pass
IDK what Google Authenticator does, but I just use KeepassXC's TOTP feature for my 2FA.

Off Gandi since they got bought and jacked up all prices a couple years ago. Galae.net (France) is working well.

I moved to notion. I think the CEO story is somewhat overblown. But I’m using custom domains in case I’m proven wrong, which will make it easy to switch if I have to.
I've been with tuta using a custom domain for a couple years now. Started switching most my services away from Google et al for pro privacy reasons a long time ago. It just so happens that these kind of decisions end up with the same results as moving to EU based solutions.
I feel like for most people their email account is just somewhere their emails go. And trust me there are plenty of options out there. If Google Calendar etc is something that your missing, then look for a alternative calendar service rather than an email service.
Switched to proton, cancelled o365 subscription.
I want to do this so bad. Issue is they don't offer enough storage for me. I need like 3 tb for photos and videos. Hope they offer add-ons to make that a possibility

I moved all my photos, videos and emails to Proton.
I have been using the free Proton, but I'm very tempted by Mail+. Something just feels strange about paying for email after it being free for 20 years

Infomaniak, such a great service for such a low price. Bought my own domain via them and the email hosting is free / just links with their plus plan.
1TB drive for 2 euros a month is a steal
Topic/question that I don't see commented on often: how are you guys finding the telling other people (verbally, out loud) about your email?
I feel I could tell someone "at proton dot com" without having to spell it but in the UK I feel any way I try to pronounce tuta is going to result in me having to say "at tango uniform tango alpha dot com" or otherwise people will misunderstand and send me about a million messages at tutta, toota, Tuter, twitter, doota, or even more creative spellings.
I bought a domain name and set it up on tuta to get an email address that I like. It was super easy to setup, tuta had created a video tutorial that showed how to setup a custom domain step by step.
You can also change your email address to @pm.me which might be easier to say?
What is the provider linked to pm.me?
Proton
I used to be on Outlook. Two weeks ago I made accounts on Proton and Tuta, but didn‘t like the missing IMAP and SMTP on the free plans.
I then also made an account on web.de, but they don‘t support the plus notation for dynamic addresses (myname+service@email.com). So in the end I payed the 12€ for a year of mailbox.org and have been extremely happy with it!
I've been using KolabNow for these past few years. Swiss-based with a focus on privacy. No issues, really like it. I also have a personal e-mail address with my name, but that one I have with a local domain registrar.
I've been using web.de for decades now
I created a mailbox.org account. But so far I have only moved contacts and my calendar. I'm still a bit miffed that they don't support proper oauth/MFA. Guess that never got established as a standard for email :(
But otherwise it works great for what I need.
Switched to Proton Duo just before the US shitshow started, still happy I did. So far mainly using it for mail, drive and calender, will be setting up VPN soon as well.
