Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

I’m using ProtonMail and paying for it.

It’s decent. The best AFAIK in terms of privacy. Supports labels etc.

The migration process takes so long, I’m split between both still and slowly moving over.

I just forward my Gmail and use it as a legacy service while using proton as my new primary. Allows me to very aggressively spam filter in proton.

That’s what I do too, and any thing that I sign up for or use often I’ve swapped straight to proton

I’m willing to use that mindset when I’m downhill mountain biking but for email… no way. You’re crazy man.

I kinda get you, but I’m (not oc) using forwarding as a temporary solution until I’ve slowly moved everything away from Gmail entirely. It’s also good to import all past mails over.

Same. I use my gmail accounts for junk mail and have been moving everything actually relevant to proton through SimpleLogin aliases.
