Proton Mail, Gmail, and Outlook are some of the best free email services. If you’re looking to go for a paid option with zero-knowledge encryption, then Proton Mail or Tuta are great choices.

Free? I believe Outlook and Gmail. Paid, Fastmail and Startmail. I have use both a never had an issue with either. Btw both paid services allow you to seamlessly import your emails from other providers.

What about forward ?

I do not know if I feel like changing all my accounts email to a whole new email address It is doable just a pain in the butt. Unless really worth it.

Fastmail allows you to keep receiving and sending emails from your previous provider from your fastmail account. Btw if you decide to subscribe to Fastmail, I believe there is a 25% off promotion for 1password users (you do not need to be a 1password user)

@ng4ever asked for free e-mail services, not free e-mail clients.

I'm not sure I would add Proton Mail along Gmail and Outlook.com. Proton Mail is heavily limited with tiny inbox size and some features put behind paywall. I don't know about Tuta except I wouldn't use it as a personal e-mail address. Tuta in Croatian means potty.

By the way, encryption Proton Mail offers only works if the person you're e-mailing uses Proton Mail too. Considering chances are 98% person doesn't use it, the so called encryption is useless as to any other service provider, mail will be sent unencrypted. Keep that in mind.

So:
Proton Mail -> Proton Mail = encrypted
Proton Mail -> Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo/Tuta/Fastmail and others = unencrypted

Fastmail seems like a good service, but I'm not using e-mail that much it would justify paying for me every month. I mostly receive mails, very rarely write them.

Thank you.

Thanks for the information; I’ll rethink my choice of service providers accordingly.

By the way, I really liked the info about Tuta too, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.

Fastmail is worth it for their Masked Emails feature. They offer unlimited aliases in any of their plans.

Unfortunately in the past two years they increased their prices a couple of times.

Now I am with Startmail and I am very happy with the service. They, too, offer unlimited aliases. As for the price, it is reasonable.

I used various e-mail services before and I came to conclusion it's best to use the major, most popular ones. I tried Yandex Mail once ~10 years ago out of curiosity and it couldn't deliver messages to certain e-mail services, especially local ones here. So the most popular service you use, the chances are your mail will be delivered.

You cannot beat Gmail and Outlook.com here; they are the pioneers of e-mail.

I busted into laughter when I heard for the service first time.

Do you really need that many aliases? I only have a few of them despite Outlook.com offering up to 10 aliases. It also supports plus addressing so technically you could have unlimited number of them.

I explained how I use e-mail services and for what here.

I do. I use a masked email for each service. I never use the same alias twice. That way if a company sold my data to 3rd parties or I started receiving spam, I just disable the alias. And my main email address stays protected and ubknown.

Another thing is that I can choose a different name associated with the alias in case I do not want to disclose my name.
