I was hovering over the button to start moving from megacorp to Proton. Bleh. Which megacorp will you pick? Are there really no better options? Thx.

- qu4z-2 4y agoI moved from Protonmail to Migadu and am happy with them. They support standard protocols and otherwise get out of the way. They also seem to be paying the Sourcehut guys to make an open source webmail client for them, which is cool but I will probably never use.
- carlivar 4y agohey.com But very opinionated and no IMAP.
- ploum 4y agono IMAP means a definitive vendor-locking. Like Tutanota. You simply cannot escape and get your emails back if you want to change.
- Karunamon 4y agoFor what it is worth I have never had an IMAP export/import go cleanly. Hey offers you an MBOX/vcard export which is quite nice. I just do not use their service because the UI is hideous.
- BirAdam 4y agoI am not entirely certain just yet. I may start actually using my Apple iCloud email address. Alternatively, another person in the comments here mentioned mailbox.org and I am thinking about that. I just know I need email I can rely on a little bit more.
- ploum 4y agoInstead of megacorp, I recommend Mailfence (Belgium) or Mailbox (Germany). There are many other providers which are trustworthy and work well (protonmail is also not that bad but receive a very bad press at every bug). The only durable solution for email is: 1. Have your own domain 2. Have a copy of all your mailboxes locally (easily done with IMAP). With that setup, migrating email is only a matter of opening a new account and changing the DNS record.
