# Email
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changing email services is actually much easier than most people think.
|
|
|
|
|
It's really only a few steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new account.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Set up your old account to forward to the new account.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Begin using your new account, exclusively using it to read and reply.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Commit to only using the new account consistently.

## Recommended Mail Providers
|
|

|

|
This article from 2015 lists two of the same hosts that I'd recommend, showing that they've been around for a while and likely aren't going anywhere.

### Proton
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A highly popular choice in today's world. When emailing other Proton users the messages are E2EE, meaning that even Proton cannot read the contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The service must be used from their website or app, they do not provide IMAP/SMTP to the general public. Their interface is actually pretty good though, and using it means less setup in the long run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They also offer enterprise email hosting solutions if you have your own domain.
|
|
|
|
|
If only set up for yourself it's actually quite affordable, starting around $60 USD in 2025.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other than email, Proton offers a respectable VPN, a 2 factor authenticator (2FA), a password manager, and many other solutions that people tend to look for.
