Okay, so I tried Tuta and found the UI clunky and buggy. I tried Mailbox.org and their billing is a mess and they took my money without crediting the account. *(I have a pending ticket, we'll see what they said.)

I do have a proton mail account, but I haven't given them $ yet because of... well you know. Sadly, out of the three I've tried their product is the best.

Wondering what to check out next. I really want to ditch the G but I'm evaluating services before I jump off the ledge this time.

I Had No issues with Mailbox. I think it will be resolved Just fine in your favour

I am Happy With their product. Maybe you experienced a hiccup.

The fact that I have to process a manual payment every month is pretty bad. Also, they just seem to have issues with most American debit or credit cards - I could only get one to work without "Unknown Error" every time. Then the billing error where I paid, received 3 separate confirmation emails and 3 days later they restricted my account for non payment.

You don’t have to do a monthly manual payment, I buy a few years at a time (USA) and they email me when it’s getting low. Not sure what billing issues you’re seeing but that sounds v annoying

Ah okay. I didn't know that. I paid for a whole year, but I'm living in the EU where the acceptance of some pay methods might be easier
