ProtonMail has a free tier. It's definitely not the same level of service as Gmail, but I prefer it to being so dependent on the big G juggernaut for a critical service.
Downsides:
* spam detector is a bit aggressive, sometimes legitimate emails make it in there.
* features are limited unless you pay.
Full disclosure: I pay for their Plus product. My rationale is that I pay twice as much per month for Netflix yet email is hugely more valuable to me than Netflix is.
More full disclosure: I used to work for Google. That's part of what made me move from Gmail.
- pandemicsoul 7y agoI'd argue that if ProtonMail's spam filter is too aggressive then basically you're in the same place you were with Gmail, aren't you? (Except now you're paying?)
- philshem 7y agoSo far with PM my outgoing mails have consistently made it to inboxes (which is why I switched from zoho)
- laughinghan 7y agoThe issue described in the OP is email not even making it to the spam folder. If it at least makes it to ProtonMail's spam folder, that's an improvement.
- robbrit 7y agoYep. And if I mark an email as "not spam", that address gets white-listed and doesn't go back to the spam box.
