Please suggest a good and relatively affordable private email provider. I am considering tuta, mailbox right now. I know proton has gone rogue.

I cannot self host one and the email provider must be somewhat reputable as I will be using this for my work portfolio. Anything with €1-€3 per month is encouraged.

    Tuta. Regardless of email provider, chose one that lets you use your own domain - that way it’s easier to change providers.

      I strongly recommend this as well. Swapped to Tuta and my own domain after leaving Proton. Having a domain for future moves is huge, I wish I had considered it sooner.

        oh yeah, I have my own domain since Uhm 2004 and have switched providers about, hm, six times without problems. I never delete emails either (spam I do) and just use Thunderbird’s drag and drop to move MA mails from one server to another.

      I’ve been using Tuta for several years now, I didn’t know I could use my own domain!

          I am a paid tier… and I have my own business… this is really something I need to do.

            Do it. It’s very straightforward.

            • Buy a domain.
            • Edit the DNS records to make your provider work with your domain.
            • In Tuta (or even an alias service like Addy), create new emails using your custom domain.
            • Done.

            Whenever you need to switch providers such as if Tuta decides to support fascism like Proton’s CEO, you can easily switch to a new provider. Then add your domain to the provider, update your DNS records to point to your new provider, click Save. Done. And you won’t have to change your email addresses ever again.
