MXRoute and a domain name you own. Then you can switch provider anytime and actually own your @ email address.

I may just do this.... and for the mail itself, is Thunderbird still a good choice ? it's been a while since I've used àa desktop client. What about mobile by the way ? thanks for your insights

Thunderbird is great. MXRoute usually does a black Friday sale and its only $10 a year when I signed up 2 years ago.

For android mail client, I use FairEmail off Fdroid. I love it so much. It blocks tracking images and has a ton of other awesome features. I have it set up to get my 2 gmail accounts also and they are color coded to red so I can decide if its important and if so I go and change it to my non-google email or unsub. Going google free

Appreciate this a lot. I found a good deal at Hostinger so I went with that and am now choosing my domain name. Am stuck on that page lol. It has to sound good and be memorable
