I have been using gmail/google for a long time now (decade or more). But the systems I have come to rely on have been getting enshitified. With their new AI advertisements popping up like crazy…Im just done.

Anyone have a good alternative to gmail? Im looking for something that will not break the bank.

For a bit there, I was running my own email server, but spam and issues with my internet provider (other email servers kept thinking my domain was spamming others) made it hard to keep up. I just dont have the patience anymore for that.

I was thinking of trying out proton or namecheaps offerings and seeing if I like them.

I am used to working with thunderbird but can use online portals if needed. If they have ac alendar that might be a bonus. Personally, I want minimal or no AI. And I want the company to be trusted and in business for at least 5 years.

Any good recommendations?

    Proton is focused on privacy and security. You can get a free email and you can chose to pay for a subscription. The free version is great! I used it for 2 years before I went for a paid subscription including a keypass, 2FA, drive, wallet, calendar, VPN and some other things.
