@MichaelPorter @idoubtit I currently use Fastmail for my email (and they also offer calendaring and other functions), which I've liked quite well, and it includes some nice email masking features for avoiding spam. There are other decent option, but obviously what will work for you depends on your use case. People who are especially concerned about privacy may prefer other options like Protonmail that focus on having zero knowledge.
@MichaelPorter @idoubtit One problem I had when I was looking was that a lot of reviews focused on free services, but I was specifically looking for paid, because I figured it would be a more sustainable business long term and because I wanted to use a service where I was the customer rather than the product.
@MichaelPorter @idoubtit Right, well the workaround there is if the service lets you host email for a domain you own (as I am doing with Fastmail) and has features to export your data from their various services (easy for email, as long as they support imap but worth checking for any other services you might use) then longevity is more of a nice to have than a necessity.
@internic @idoubtit Exactly my thinking. But I won’t get my hopes up over longevity…
