Love Mailbox. Their website is horrible but once you connect your email to your local applications it’s perfect.
The site is not that bad...
What application do you like?
I've just switched. I'm using Betterbird on Linux and FairEmail on Graphene.
Fiddling with Inbox PGP with Mailbox Guard and other settings at the moment.
Proton does make it easier.
Mail on iPhone Thunderbird on Linux
I am on android and thunderbird also has a client for that. I am really happy with that one too.
I think iOS has a test version but I haven’t used it much. My thinking was since I’m sure iPhone spies me anyways I’ll use theirs versus another. I should try that though.
Glad you like it
The website is horrific and not being able to find what I want on there is what is putting me off switching to them right now
It’s easy to find what you want, the website is simply slow.
Maybe I'm just being blind then. I can deal with slow I just didn't find what I wanted and the search in the help section didnt help.
I'll give it another chance and have a look. I just barely know what I'm doing with custom domains yet as this is my first forray and so may have been looking at what I needed and didnt realise :)
Post here if you get stuck. Others will help.
I’m in the process of moving from Proton to mailbox.org and found the information I needed in the knowledge base (and a little googling to clarify how their instructions relate to my domain provider).
I don't play well with clients - I prefer webmail. Mailbox.org is better than Tuta but yea, it's not 5 stars. Although I am planning on having whatever service I land on host the mail and use Nextcloud's email so it's kind of what you said anyway.
