I don't want to run a server.

I read the Gmail TOS and I'm uncomfortable with them and it seems I can only use IMAP with them. This old fuddy duddy wants SMTP.

I have accumulated multiple legacy emails that have all ended up on Earthlink servers, and it time to move on.

I'm just looking for a reliable email provider that is independent of an ISP, accessible via smtp and a web interface for my android. I don't want additional services or advertising.

I'm going to review the link you provided and your search suggestion.

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
