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

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

    • Syncing of calendar and contacts with android
    • Infinite alias with my own domain
    • no spam and trash in all mail
    • read/write sync with external calendar (google calendar for example)
    • catch all sending email address

    There is another important feature too that I need, but I don’t know if proton supports it. Fastmail currently manage the emails from 2 of my domains. I also supply an email address from one of those domains to each member of my family. I need to be able to forward every email received to a specific address to a Gmail address. The emails must skip my mailbox completely and not look as a simple forwarded email in their Gmail.

      I share my Google Calendar with my wife (also on Google). If I wanted to modify or even view her calendar, is that still possible?

        This is also what I do, I think it’s impossible with Proton, though you can with Fastmail. This is the feature request for proton mail: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/42344065-read-write-sync-with-other-calendars-office365-g

        I’m currently still using Google calendar with Fastmail, I can edit in fastmail and everything is synced with Google calendar.

        I’m willing to stop using Google services, but I can’t ask the same from others. This is why I still use google calendar and google photos. To share with my family.

          So from Fastmail you can see/modify the calendar in Google that’s been shared with you?

          I’d like to be able to keep the shared calendar feature that I currently use in Google with my wife. It’s so handy for organising things.

            Yes, you can sync the calendars from a google account, so you can see/modify all the calendars that you have on that google account. Fastmail becomes a client for google calendar. But you can also have your own personal calendars inside Fastmail, not synced with google calendar.
