Throw my hat in the ring for Fastmail too. I was looking for a GMail alternative for a particular and settled on Fastmail. (I still use Inbox for other accounts)
I've found their technical team helpful, their instructions with screenshots (although not on the most current version, but a close enough version) helpful, and the web interface smooth (though I typically use native mail clients)
Are there any services that allow for inbox and settings import from Gmail? I have a good ten years invested in mine, so far it's the only Google product I've not been able to fully cut the cord from.
As other's have mentioned I love using zoho for my personal domains. Has pretty much all features I need in an email client, plus it is free for most use cases.
I can understand lots of reasons why you might want to migrate away from Gmail, but so that people can suggest the most appropriate alternatives, what is it about Gmail that makes Gmail not appropriate for you?
Reliable quality email fastmail - 4 words that go together.
Webmail is decent but not as good as Gmail.
Hotmail is great NOW. But there was a time when it was ad filled & crappy. Same for Yahoo which was great at one time but unbearable now. In free email, gmail & Hotmail are the best I know. Fastmail is not too fancy, but its a good email service.
Protonmail is at capacity, but are an encrypted email service if security and privacy are a concern. I know, it's kind of silly since "big brother" has most of your email because it has all of everyone else's, but I figured it was worth a mention.

Zoho's CEO has been a Hacker News user for a long time, and he promised to keep the basic tier free:
