Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

    I’ll be honest, when it comes to online purchases you may find that a protonmail email will require extra processing/fraud checking due to the amount of fraudsters that use it. Combine that with a vpn and it will just be a pain here and there with online purchases like additional ID verification/delayed orders etc…

      Been using protonmail for my main email for three years, never had one issue. But I’m in Europe, maybe in the US it’s different?

        I’m more talking global purchases. Just the email will probs be ok but if you purchase using that email and a vpn it raises flags.
