Proton is seeming sketchier lately. What alternatives do y’all have in your back pocket? Especially for email, but really any part of the suite.

Custom domain 100%. And use a catch all so you can use any address on it, and give a different address to every service/place.
That should work with most providers, but I made Port87 to make that super easy to manage.
The best thing about doing email that way is no matter how great a provider is now they can always turn shitty, and like you said, this setup makes it super easy to switch.
I tried the different address for every service thing and found it way too much hassle. I think at the very least having only one you tell the actual humans in your life is important.
It normally is a lot of hassle. I tried to make it very easy with Port87.
I mostly mean the human side of it. Even without something like that the alias part was fine, it was not remembering which one I used when asked in person. Or family members being unable to remember my email because the answer wasn’t the same one time.
I understand why the idea is appealing, I’m just putting it out there for anyone else reading that the human element is a cost I hadn’t considered when I started. Personally I don’t have enough of a spam problem to warrant committing to it.
