Ask HN: Best Alternatives for Gmail

2 points by mnewme 9mo ago ↗ HN

Starting Jan 2026, Gmail will stop pulling in POP checkmail feature. No replacement

I’ve relied on Gmail as my all-in-one inbox for decades. Any good alternatives for all-in-one inboxes?

I have good luck with Protonmail and it still supports POP3. You also get the benefit of encryption.

I would stay away from Tutamail, I've had bad customer support experience with them and they refused to give me a refund. Also, the UX/UI is rough.

Fastmail
