Ask HN: Looking for recommendations on an email client to replace gmail

5 pointsby susanhiabout 7 years ago
I’ve been using gmail for the past 10+ years and am increasingly getting concerned with the amount of info google has about me, including all of the text of my emails. I know I’m late but am looking for a new email client. Any recommendations? Paid service is ok, as long as I can be relatively sure that the company will still be around for a while.

We previously used fastmail.com at our company, fantastic service run by some very knowledgeable people.<p>No data mining or profiling, they are fully aware of any retention laws and relevant data security laws, and they offer an easy to use export tool if you ever feel you want to shift providers.<p>More info on their privacy policy: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fastmail.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;privacy.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fastmail.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;privacy.html</a>

Are you sure it&#x27;s an email <i>client</i> you&#x27;re looking for? The client is just the software used to read the mail; it&#x27;s independent from the server that sends and receives it.<p>An email client won&#x27;t help much in terms of privacy if gmail is still your email service provider.

Protonmail is a good choice. I also have used fastmail for some custom domains.
