Fastmail and proton mail are usually recommended when this question comes up among technical groups.
I’ve had a fastmail account for many years and never had any issues. Fairly solid and reliable.
I've been with Fastmail for about a year and a half now. The number of complaints in their subreddit about outages had me a little worried but I've never once missed out on an important email or anything like that.
My literal only complaint is lack of offline viewing for messages but I just run K-9 and shit's solid.
Didn’t even know they had messages, I haven’t used the web interface since I signed up pretty much!
I just set it up with my email client way back when and that’s it. Can’t say I’ve noticed any outages, but maybe that’s just me not paying enough attention
Edit: huh, seems there’s a lot I’ve missed out on… I’ll have to have a proper look in the morning
I had a look and my first email on that account was in 2008 lol
I use Proton as well and it's been great, but setting up their bridge for IMAP access in a way that worked for my setup was needlessly annoying (run on a headless server and access it from other devices within the network and docker containers on said server).
Also using Proton, it's been fine
Just switched the Mailserver for my domain to proton (they offer hosting on custom domains), the email service is pretty good after you set things up.
Sadly, their other cloud services Lack Integration.
