@snarklestiltzkin @Ruth_Mottram I looked at Proton due to the free plan, but realised I was going to need a paid plan due to my email storage. I then found Mailbox.org and went with them as similar cost but also green energy hosting. They also had a function that migrated all my emails for me.
Donald Trump pardoned Andrew Paul Johnson for his role in the January 6 insurrection. Johnson then used his newly acquired freedom to sexually assault two 12-year-olds.
