Email Alternatives to Gmail (self.asklemmy)

submitted 1 day ago by NONE_dc to c/[email protected]

51 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm in the process of getting rid of as much Google-related stuff as I can. Yesterday I already started with moving everything I had stored in Drive (backups and other stuff) to my Nextcloud and the like. Now I want to change my main email, the one I'm going to use for, my accounts here in the fediverse and so on. So I'm looking for alternatives.

At the moment, apart from Gmail, I also have an Outlook (from when it was hotmail), a Proton account (though in view of their CEO's recent statements I may not keep it) and a new one on Disroot.

Which of the aforementioned services works best for a normie not well versed in cybersecurity like me?

Do you know of any alternatives I'm not aware of (I've heard of Tuta, but nothing else)?

Who here doesn't have at least one unused domain?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Care to hand down one? I only have free domains, like stuff that ends with cr.hf or whatever

Domains are pretty inexpensive. I've used Namecheap but shop around.

Idk, just thought it was worth mentioning cause it's not like Proton or Tuta where they have [email protected] or whatever

Oh I was just making a light-hearted joke about the demographic here, it's definitely still good info to include.

Ah gotcha!

I know you don’t need the validation, but I have 6-7 domains that don’t have email on them at the moment.
