Proton Mail has taken care of email for me. Their transfer process was extremely easy, and since I have my own domain and had already aliased an email to my previous one, I didn’t need to change my email on my accounts.
Google Photos is still a thorn on my side. It’s just too good to leave.
I have had proton mail with premium for the VPN and password manager for a good couple months now but how good is the mail. I really only have it for like steam and few game accounts
Edit: after looking through my light post history probably been on proton for six months. Man how time flies, by my question still stands even if I haven’t used the email as much as I’d have liked to
It’s really hard to give a review of an email service. It sends mail, it receives mail, and the user interface is pretty enough for what it needs to do.
It’s a bit cheaper than a comparable service from Google Workspace, and it encrypts emails when it’s possible to do so, which is nice.
An extra plus is that it allows you to use your domain as an alternate email, both for receiving and sending. So if you don’t like @proton.me, you can replace it with a domain that you own.
A minus is that you need to install a bridge to use standard SMTP clients like Thunderbird.
All in all, I’m happy, and I’ll continue to use it.

I’ve recently installed Immich and it’s basically a drop in replacement for Google photos. You do need to host it yourself however.
Ah! That really does make things easy for migrating emails. Unfortunately I don’t have my own domain yet.

Nice. I’ve just been… what’s the word, not wary, maybe hesitant on it just because I didn’t know stuff like uptime and how quick mail came through
Don’t get me wrong I love proton i just…. I completely lost my train of thought lol
