I have been planning on migrating to Proton (I know, wrong community) and this could very well be the year. Just 2 gmail and 1 hotmail address/inbox to migrate but would love to follow the tips given here.
I have some questions to specify your case:
I don't use tags alot and neither do the users I would migrate
I am not sure if this is possible but at the moment they just have gmail accounts but would move to a email with a custom domain - Im tempted to use Yunohost but worried about running my own email server and the responsibility that would come with that but also the size of the email accounts, Id also prefer that Yunohost had scheduled Backups to an external location in place.
Never heard of yunohost, but... definitely not worth managing your own email server. That shit is essentially a full time job. And it's forever ongoing full time job, with 24/365 on call type job if emails are mission critical. Doesn't matter how much other hosts are charging, it's worth using third party email service.
Totally agree. No fun being a small guy in a dugout and a rifle when the spam and malware arms race is bombing you with nukes.
