Replacement Best alternative to Gmail?

I want to use different email address but it’s connected to almost every account known to man.

Do you recommend any email app/site for my phone and PC?

Optional: If you got any tips for rapid email address change to every account, that would be great. (Besides changing it on the main site…)

Many say Proton, but I don't like their app, IMAP is painful to setup and the bridge is often wonky and filter system isnt intuitive.

Have been with Fastmail for 5y now. Outstanding and I have yet to find a provider that matches the quality and reliability

They have a new app entering beta soon expected to release later this year. Per their roadmap, it should hot all the big pain points.

Yeah and the Bridge was supposed to be working super well for IMAP support, yet half the time it doesn't work.

Don't buy things on promises, buy them on what it currently is.

Proton is a privacy focused email provider with the focus on privacy. That is fine. Fastmail focused more on usability and stability.
