My tips from moving away from Gmail: - Mailbox.org is what I use and it's pretty good. I often see Fastmail recommended too. - Use a standalone email client that allows you to connect to multiple email servers. This makes it easy to continue to monitor your old email account while you use the new one. I use Thunderbird on desktop and FairEmail on Android (though Thunderbird also has an app for Android). - Transfer all of your most important accounts over initially. As long as you continue to have access to your old account, you don't need to transfer absolutely everything all at once, you can do it over time. - Use a custom domain name so if you decide to change providers again in future you just need to update your DNS records rather than changing your email address in all your accounts. - You may also want to set up a catch-all email address or use a service like https://addy.io/ https://addy.io/ to generate email aliases on the fly, and create a new alias for each service you use (for example, your email for GitHub could be github.com@mydomain.com). This helps protect your actual personal email address from spam.
