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.

Look for an email provider that supports an email address with custom domains. Then you buy a domain of your choosing (can be as little as $5 for the year). e.g. if I get the domain www.craziman.co.uk, then I can take that to my mail provider and my email can be edgelord@craziman.co.uk. Or make it a catch all address.... So any email sent to @craziman.co.uk gets sent to my inbox. So I can make up any alias I want. If I sign up for an account I can input my email as insurance@craziman.co.uk. then in the future if I get marketing emails sent to this address then I k ow who sold my personal information and I can easily block all emails to insurance@craziman.co.uk
