Recommendations for an email provider [View all]

I use an email client on a PC and have multiple email accounts. I am considering closing them all over the coming year.

I would like to get two new email accounts with reliable providers not tied to my internet service provider. I already have a Gmail account and for a variety of reasons I don't want to switch there.

A reasonable fee is fine, I don't leave much up on the servers so a moderate amount of storage is OK.

Edit to clarify that I'm not wanting to run a SMTP server, but a POP email application.

I use Vivaldi as my browser and they have email as well. cayugafalls Dec 2020 #2

That's interesting Yonnie3 Dec 2020 #4

I have been happy with Vivaldi as a free service. cayugafalls Dec 2020 #5

Combine Vivaldi with a VPN service and you have fairly reasonable security. cayugafalls Dec 2020 #6
