    There's also the option of getting a VPS server with cPanel or DirectAdmin to host just the email part of your domains if you have a lot of email user accounts - though IP reputation would be risky for mail deliverability depending on the web host.

    For those who want to switch from Google Workspace / Google G Suite to a privacy friendly e-mail alternative. Take a look at our friends at Privacy Guides.

    For those who want to go a step further and wish to get away from the big three altogether. From search engine to DNS provider, from cloud storage to social network and from computer software to router.

    A complete range of possibilities to De-Googling yourself.

    Didn't know MXroute before, thanks for that. Picked up the lifetime promo for a few of my personal domains.
    Delivery of mails looks very promising. A 10/10 score from mail-tester.com and no leaking ip's afaik.

    Just be aware that you need some technical know-how on how to set it all up (skim/spf/dmarc/cname for name mailserver)

    Ah reminds me there's also Protonmail

    Glad I could help. The MXRoute lifetime promo is a good bang for the buck - next best compared to their yearly Black Friday deals:) I've also started setting up some domains/emails on my MXRoute account now. All the less important domains/emails - ones not used for registering with online services/products like web hosting/domain registrars etc.

    Yes, Protonmail was rock solid for years.
    The problem is that: Protonmail, the privacy friendly e-mail provider, provides IP address of activist after order from Swiss authorities. And then the credibility is gone. First, the company indicates that it does not log anything. After which, it appears that they do indeed log and provide information. Supposedly only for selected users. But that is difficult to determine. It seems to me that they log everyone and only forward selected users' info.

    Mailbox is nice if you are looking for a privacy-friendly alternative to G Suite.
    It supports DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA. It is removing any metadata from all outgoing mail. And the e-mails contained in the encrypted inbox are encrypted using PGP.

    I have experience with every provider from the list haha:)

    I switched over to proton a couple of years back. Visionary gets you 10custom domains, vpn etc. yes it costs over “free”. Not as white as the driven snow as we thought, but not the yellow snow where the huskies do go of others.

    it’s not as easy a setup as g-suite was. Plus on mobile at least, it’s kind of one inbox for multiple domains. So quite easy to send from the wrong one.

    Still have a problem though, as I left my archive on g-suite.

    I have a preference for eu services as people still send me personal info over email. No amount of head banging seems to get through, retired professionals /sigh/

    There is an opportunity here for others to gain, eg mxroute, zoho. It’s also an opportunity for them to fail under new unplanned load.

    I gave up on google as far back as angularJS 2, which wasn’t going to be compatible, till it was, then … I love change, but not unpredictability.

    Take what I can, where I can, when I can, but not depend upon it.

    Ah didn't know about that Protonmail incident. Which web site is for Mailbox there's a .org one right ?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. When you mean one inbox for multiple domains, is there no option to select the from email alias like in Gmail/Google Suite/Workspaces?

    Another provider that seems to come up a lot for alternatives online is Fastmail too Fastmail Pricing | Stop Paying for Email with Your Privacy.

    Sichere E-Mail für Privat- und Geschäftskunden | mailbox.org Lazy popcorn fart you are:) Check PrivacyGuides for more info.

    I can't recommend Fastmail.
    Nice slogan: Fastmail: 'Stop Paying for Email with Your Privacy'. Fastmail is located in Australia. Australia is a member of the 5 eyes. And so absolutely not recommended when it comes to privacy or in this case privacy and mail.

    Interesting. So many people are going to be affected by this that we are going to see a lot of companies rolling out new products to serve users leaving Google. It's another reason I am going to wait a few more months before deciding what to do.

    I will probably just be staying with G Suite for deliverability concerns, though.

    But but... Australia is where the cool kids are :cool: j/k
    Yeah worth waiting to see what deals come to light. The Microsoft with 1TB storage deal is enticing now that I have a fast enough HFC internet connection it is now something I can entertain for cloud based backups of my data too even if I pay a bit more than Google Workspaces for it. I have one domain email that's my personal email that is a good candidate for Microsoft email with 1TB storage. But also have domains that are definitely sticking with Google Workspace or whatever non-cost option they come up with eventually.

    The UK government is awful, however even if they are kicked out the ones to replace them are just as bad, all corrupt and in it for self gain, Boris's lot (UK) has just had 13 cases referred (according to the news this morning) to the police from the Sue Gray report on breaking covid regulations that they set in place......

    Just as well they delayed it, I still need time to sort out my G Suite legacy accounts heh. Offloading unimportant emails to Zoho https://community.centminmod.com/th...in-com-email-provider-setup-information.3641/ and MXRoute https://community.centminmod.com/threads/using-mxroute-com-for-yourdomain-emails.22409/

    Looks like they've added inline Google GSuite legacy notice prompts to remind folks like myself of the change.

    Their updated info at Upgrade from G Suite legacy free edition - Google Workspace Admin Help

    and screenshots of the inline prompts
