josh susserI need an alternative to gmail. What's a good option for hosting email that supports custom domains? Paid service is preferred to ad supported. Easy import from gmail would be nice.
Karl Higley@joshsusser I’ve been pretty happy with FastMail. Not sure about import though.

Sam Stephenson@joshsusser very happy with Fastmail here
Paul Sadauskas ✊ Resist@sstephenson @joshsusser +1 to Fastmail. Been a happy paid customer for over a decade.
jarkko@sstephenson @joshsusser Same here. Think I've been a customer for more than 20 years, and I almost never use its web UI. It just works.

Josh Summer@joshsusser @adelinej Proton.me
Anne Delong@joshsummer @joshsusser @adelinej
Yes, Proton works well.
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@joshsusser Chalk me up as another +1 for fastmail, although I also did not try to import. I preferred to start from a clean slate.
Markus Unterwaditzer@joshsusser I think FastMail is by far the best product out there. Proton is weirdly limited and feels like a closed ecosystem, others are too "open source" and rather unpolished.
cybervegan@joshsusser I migrated to Mailo about a year ago and it's been pretty good - stable and well documented.
Seedy!@joshsusser I'm with Mythic Beasts.
Wiredfire@cubic @joshsusser Same - astounding company, couldn't be happier with them
Mislav Marohnić@joshsusser Fastmail is pretty nice, no hiccups in several years whatsoever, bonus points if you use 1Password so it integrates with Fastmail’s masked addresses
Roknrol@joshsusser Migadu is pretty reasonable...not sure about gmail import.
Mirishuli@joshsusser Tutamail served my needs and met my privacy concerns. Tuta.com
mellowfish@joshsusser I believe Fastmail hits all these. I have enjoyed it.
@joshsusser If you don't mind a tiny, and I do mean tiny, technical overhead I can highly recommend @beasts hosting. £3.50 a month sorts my, and my family's, email needs, I bring my own domain, have full control and have some web space to play with. The service and support is also incredible - absolute wonderful folk who will put in a great deal of effort to help even in accounts paying as little as I do.
Basₜᵣₒ@joshsusser I can recommend runbox.com. Hosted in Norway (green energy) and a good service in the few cases you need them. And although Norway is not a 🇪🇺EU member they have implemented GDPR law. https://www.dlapiperdataprotection.com/index.html?t=law&c=NO
Joe Rocklin@joshsusser if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, you can do custom domains with iCloud mail. I didn’t try to import Gmail though. I kept Gmail as my non-personal account to give to companies or when I don’t really want someone to have my email.
amy@joshsusser always rec mxroute myself. fairly cheap, stable, with decent support
John Cleary@joshsusser Fastmail - but be aware their SPAM filtering is not as good.
Tim Apple@joshsusser I like Fastmail, hey!, or Proton… Fastmail is probably the best all around for calendar, contacts, and email. Proton the most private, and Hey! the coolest and most innovative.
Guillotine Jones, Flâneur@joshsusser
I'm here to snertch the answer, Josh.

Daniel Colquitt@joshsusser a further +1 for @fastmail — I used them for several years prior to moving to self-hosted (unrelated to any deficiency in fastmail)
Julia :v_bi::therian:@joshsusser ProtonMail is acceptable- though their CEO has made questionable choices and statements with regard to Right Wing politicians.
For something slightly more technical, I greatly recommend Migadu. I've been using them for several months now, and they're perfect for my needs.

Endareth@joshsusser Fastmail all the way! Been with them almost since they started up.
DDR@joshsusser I've really liked Migadu so far. They charge based on usage, vs something like domains, which is great for my 7 domains with minimal traffic on them. 🙂
Competent support too.
