There's a "via=reddit" tracker in the submitted URL

Juiced some stats before I realized. Should have realized the bait with the 'less than coffee' benchmark. Ad.

I need a drink, I don't need to pay for email

So if you constantly delete emails (or move them elsewhere) you could have quite a few people on a $1.50 a month plan.

I wonder if this would be effective for families. Could source a custom domain for everyone in the household.

That's what I do with migadu. Way easier. I can have emails for my 3 years old (yes, the world sometimes needs that) being alias for my own and when the time comes, I will just switch the alias to be a real mailbox.

I have FastMail.

What I can’t get everywhere is:

  - Webmail
  - Mobile app

I moved away from Gmail, and it felt like a feature loss. But after enough years, Gmail feels bloated.

We use them for several domain names but very little email per domain. Very happy customer! They recently rolled out webmail as well.

My major problem remains the email client. I have to use damn gmail for a decent user experience, which defeats the purpose of degoogling, sigh.

It depends on the definition of degoogling. For me that would be making sure I am not dependent on them. Using a product as a frontend is fine provided I control the data ("control" as in "have hope to get relevant support")

I didn't want to provide them access to the content of all my emails too, though, even though they claim not to read them

In that case I guess that your only solution is self-hosting your email.

Nah, am email client like thunderbird is sufficient. It's annoying that I don't have one that works both on Android and ubuntu. Maybe there is a good webmail somewhere.

I am not sure I understand. Either you host your email and therefore your data is with you, or you use a provider and the data (emails) is with them. The provider can be Google or any other entity (which will have access to your data)

Oh I see, my problem is specifically with Google having a lot of data on me, I'm fine giving that to a trusted paid provider (migadu in my case)
