Who is The Best Paid Email Provider (tm)?
Free email providers get paid by selling your data or stuffing your inbox with advertising.
Many free email providers also have terrible or non-existent customer service because that would raise their costs.
If you are happy with your email provider, who is your email provider and what is it about their service that makes you happy?
As for my preferred email provider, that's Fastmail.
And if you breakdown all features you can easily (in theory) draw a multidimensional plot where youll see a group of winners at least.
The downside is that downloading messages is fairly slow when you have 10-20k messages in your inbox. And the webmail is fairly primitive.
I never tried Fastmail.
For Webmail, I have been meaning to try https://roundcube.net
You can try it out at https://www.pikapods.com/apps#email to see if this works for you.
I wanted to like hey.com for some of their enhanced email management tools but I didn’t like the platform in general.
I can’t believe no one lets me set “keep 30 days of this newsletter but delete the rest”. Setting filter rules per email in Gmail feels silly. With newsletters, value is inversely proportional to receive date.
What I’m getting at is.. best email provider and options for someone who is kinda, but not entirely, done with email..? Most email platforms still treat email as a first class communication platform, but for me, it definitely isn’t.
Almost no human emails.
But I know it's private, and I can generate email aliases to use for each service I sign up for.

If you're okay with a non-standard email account that you need to use their app for, hey.com has been a game changer for me. Being able to handle the flood of incoming messages that comes from having an email address for 35 years.

This made sense for me as two of my family are already using it.
