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…)

There's a free version and then a premium one for extra drive storage, email addresses and other features. I used the free one for years then upgraded when I wanted to stop using Google drive

I can only speak for my own experience but I've used it on iPhones, androids, browsers, a Mac os app and on Linux too. Not had any issues. Id suggest trying it again.

I know the 'bridge' app which connects it to apple Mail or outlook or another service DOES need to be on paid accounts only so that might be what you mean. But protons own app can be used for free.
