Buy a domain for $20, get a GSuite account with it for $6 a month or similar, then archive all your mail via Outlook or your desktop email app of choice. You also get a lot of other tools and storage space for very low cost which I find useful.
It's still using Google but it allows plenty of control and management, and I can take my domain anywhere with minimal stress. It's a decent compromise.
- bxparks 5y agoJust make sure that you use a different domain registrar than Google Domains, and make sure your admin email address is not gmail. Because if Google bans your account, you will be totally screwed.
- danlugo92 5y ago> $6 a month Zoho has a $1/yr plan.
- indigodaddy 5y agoAnd Yandex has a $0/yr plan (unless they got rid of it and I’m just grandfathered, not sure..)
- Zopieux 5y agoCan't find anything below ~1/month at zoho for just mails; care to share a link?
- danlugo92 5y agoYeah it's $1 a month, got confused, still a good deal!
- rattray 5y agoIs zoho email any good? I've never heard anything about it.
- iav 5y agoI used to do this but switched to iCloud Beta for custom domain this year. It’s $1/month (free with any paid iCloud plan) and integrates with iPhones/Mac, supports push email for iPhone, and is free of Google spying.
