I am looking for a new Email service.
Currently have a Verizon Email address the service for which was moved by Verizon to AOL/Yahhoo after Verizon bought AOL/Yahoo.
The Email accounts originated with Verizon as part of the paid Internet service we have had with them. But before AOL that included tech support for the Email including speaking to a tech support person. Now if you want true tech support you have to upgrade the AOL mail account to a paid subscription account separate from the paid Internet service with Verizon.
I use the Thunderbird Email client application, using the POP mode with it, and want to continue using it and continue doing the POP mode (physically brings the Emails off the service providers servers and stores them locally in my PC equipment).
I am willing to pay a subscription for a good service and will never go to Gmail or any web based or cloud based Email system. I trust my own security better than the service providers (they now get hacked into more often than most individual users) and with POP the Email only resides on the service providers servers while it waits for the Email client software to go get it (my POP set up instructs the host severs to delete the emails I have drawn down to my PC ops).
Any ideas to offer??
I like Protonmail. They have a free option that only offers email which is great. Paid option gives you a VPN and some extra storage capacity which honestly most folks don’t need.
Yes.
Proton.
You can’t beat hover.com.
Been with them 20 years. Canadian firm - 1st class service & support.
You may even to get an email address with your first name, @, then your last name .org
I’ve had my name as my email for 20 years.
Use your own client or their Webmail.
I’ll check them out.
I am totally ready to go through all my Internet based connections, personal, financial and otherwise, and provide each one with the necessary new Emil address(es) when the time comes. Yes, it will require some work and patience but in my view Verizon screwed its long time Internet service customers when it dumped them into AOL with no provision with AOL to continue the tech support Verizon had provided at no additional separate monthly charge & I do not like things that AOL does and hate having to ever see their Leftwing “news” pages everytime it becomes necessary to have to go to their stupid web pages for some reason.
Proton mail!

why do/should I want to buy/have a domain name, just to have an Email service provider host Email for me?? Just asking.
Can you send things like photos, videos and live links with their free option?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. Only has a limit to how much data you can send - I think it’s 20mb, but don’t quote me on that.
www.chophillarysnutsoff.com may still available.
I use gmail. They think they use me.
After I heard that Verizon dumped their email service then I thought no thanks to Verizon internet.
get your own domain and setup an email server, try icewarp thats what we use
If you had a Mac you can use @icloud for free with no limits. sorry.
Never had a Mac, never would and do not want my Email sitting out in the “cloud”.
ProtonMail
or
Tutanota
They do use you.
