Basic Fastmail is 3$/month. My com domain is ~12$/year. That's 50$/year for one of, if not the most important internet service tied to your identity.
Sorry to put it this bluntly but pay up or shut up and take it. Or do the work and host it yourself. Or make friends with some IT people and have them host it as a favor. Or whatever. You are not entitled to both free and good services. Google has to make money, what a surprise.
Whenever there's talk about privacy, support, ads, etc about a product or service here everybody's saying that they would pay for the clean thing. Well for email you absolutely can.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoName an Android email client that doesn't have ads, isn't hot garbage in UI or UX, and has features like email templates.
- LopovJack 3y agoFairmail and K9.
- trabant00 3y agoFastmail does not have ads, has good ui and ux. I don't even know what email templates are. But name a HN user that is smarter than me, his name begins with trab and ends in nt00.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoEmail templates are canned responses. E.g., if you get many emails asking about x, give them the boilerplate response in a couple taps from your phone.
- vgeek 3y agoFairEmail is probably the best. K9 is more hit or miss, but is usable.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoK9 doesn't have something as simple as as "snooze send". FairEmail has a less than stellar UI

- Marsymars 3y agoTBF I have both a gmail account and a paid-for email account that I use extensively. I haven't migrated everything away from gmail primarily because of inertia - recreating all my workflows outside of gmail is probably a couple solid weekends of effort, which is way more than $50 worth of my time, and as I don't use the gmail web interface (or the gmail apps), I never see ads anyway.
