Re: "Email - Any suggestions for email? I've been transitioning..."
I personally greatly dislike protonmail. It's extremely restrictive on what you can do because they have to artificially create value for certain features, and they do this stuff constantly. Protonmail Bridge, iirc, used to be for paid users only, and when I found that out I stopped using Protonmail soon after. Looks like they've provided it open source so everyone can use it now, but still - never going back to them.

I use mailbox.org and am pretty happy with it. I moved away from ProtonMail because it was harder to use my own email client (Thunderbird) with it - which is what I prefer to do now-a-days.
I use gmail behind a personal domain with forwarding by nearlyfreespeech.net. I consider the domain and forwarding to be the important part as it means I'm not tied to one email provider, and I've been using + happy with nearlyfreespeech.net for a long time. It's not free, though :)

Never use a provider which doesn’t give you IMAP and SMTP access.

Email - Any suggestions for email? I've been transitioning away from my Gmail account to an address at my personal domain name. Right now I'm using privateemail.com for hosting. The cost is reasonable, but the spam filtering is not great.
