Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

    I’ve tried Hey, it’s nice, but you’re stuck with their workflow.

    I decided to reproduce their workflow inside of Fastmail. Worked well and now I adapted it for my needs. Something I couldn’t have done with Hey.

    Even today, I’m exploring Proton and I’m finding that some basic features offered by Fastmail are not available in Proton. The idea of encrypted emails is nice, but I’m not sacrificing some features that I use.

      Sad to hear that about Hey: that was how I felt about Basecamp. It’s a shame they are repeating the same mistakes.

      I’m halfway between proton and fastmail, mostly because I like and trust protonvpn. It’s tough to choose. For pure email, I’d pick fastmail.

        It’s not a bad service, their workflow is restrictive, but I think it is a good workflow though. Their goal is to make their user change the way they approach emails.

        It’s ambitious, but I won’t blame them. It showed me a way to manage emails that I didn’t know before though and I adapted it for my needs.
