Which email provider do you use?

Not at all. Everyone knows that uses protonmail there is no search.

Yes I can search for something in the title, but that is mostly pointless.
 
Ok I’ll stand slightly corrected. It is a newish (2022) feature that supports client side indexing for the web browser (not app) Which I don’t count from a security perspective.

It’s still pants. I’m not renewing after this year and will just let google have my data.

Been with ProtonMail for 2 years now, probably going to move somewhere else when my subscription expires. I feel the only polished app they have is the password manager, and from a software development standpoint, thats kind of a low bar to achieve. The other apps seem like perpetual betas, and when you think they’re going to start polishing them or feature adding, they release some new product into the same cycle. I’ll even include the mobile email app into it. It just feels basic.

For the price they charge its just not good enough imo.

The only thing i will miss is SimpleLogin and its proton pass integration, and they bought that, so i cant even commend them for its creation.

Just considering going back to mainstream, gmail or outlook at this point.
 
My main account is Hotmail (Outlook) and is 24 years old. My secondary, Gmail, is from about the time googlemail changed to gmail.
 
I've been doing the same as OP for about 15 years, have moved around a few times, one, Zoho, the latest being hostinger which, I'm not happy with but has been better than Zoho.

It was a good offer when I grabbed hostinger for 4 years, but lack of 2FA seriously bugs me.

Keep thinking I'm just going to bite the bullet and go with a biz exchange online account unless I can find something better.

Edit - man... Closer to 24 years now, where has the time gone :o

Proton. What I particularly like about them are the email aliases. You get a set number of email addresses but an infinite number of aliases. An alias is an email that piggy backs on one of your ten emails. So you basically have different names for the same email. You give stores and other online things a unique alias so they can not identify you by the alias you used on other accounts. They and only they have that one alias and they are never made aware of the email it is piggy-backing on.

I split my email away from my ISP when I realised that the thought of losing email addresses was stopping me move ISP's

This is helpful as you say. Also shortens the address from the protonmail.com to pm.me for example.

I have got into the habit of using email addresses for certain things only, which segments things.

Was doxxed a few years back by one of the email and details leaks and started getting targeted by scammers. Never again, so I move around a bit to maintain privacy more than I would have in the past
