What's a good alternative to Gmail? (meganice.online)

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

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

I'm using a combination of Postfix and Cyrus IMAPd.

Granted, probably not what OP was asking for, but privacy wise, this is almost certainly more water tight than any of the other options.

Get your own domain and sign up with Opalstack.

I have been using Hey for two years now and I like it a lot. Less about privacy and more about, “I don’t want all this junk mail and advertising”

I like skiff.com you can forward your Gmail address to it and make email aliases for free.

I signed up for MailRoute lifetime* account when Google threatened to pull the grandfathered free workspace account.

It’s fine, I email using Spark everywhere anyway. Spam filter could be better. Other than that, everything is back to normal.

Zoho is a good alternative.
