I cut the cable and I'm losing my @Comcast email account. I am looking for someone new, not yahoo, not google. What do you have and who do you like?

You might actually be able to keep the email address as long as you log into their site on a regular basis. My late mother's account is still active after several years.

I'm using the Outlook email system.

I've subscribed to netaddress.com (usa.net email domain) for decades. Run by SilverSky/BAE Systems. Very secure. Never had a problem with them.

We use outlook.com
It has worked well for over 3 years now.

My suggestion is to buy space on a shared host and a personalized domain name.

That way you can make any email address or, if you’re like me, a hundred email addresses. I control my email filters and have an email for every vendor so that when I start getting spam, i can shut that one down.

For my host, I use InMotion Hosting

For domains: https://epik.com

As a side benefit, you get web/image hosting and you’d most likely be paying nearly the same for simple email hosting anyway. I don’t see a downside.

Mail.com

I use protonmail and I’m happy with it. I have the free version.

We cut comcast a year ago and are still using our comcast email address. They said as long as you keep using it we could keep it.

I use Apple's iCloud.com. My email address is <MyName>@iCloud.com

Gmail all the way. Works great.

^^^ Funny enough … I know the founders.

Been around a long time now … wow.

Fwiw, I use outlook, apple and proton.

Proton paid subscription with a custom domain.

I have been using mail.com for over 25 years. Never a problem. You can sign up for multiples if you wish, and have email forwarded to just one if desired.

They offer several domains, but all use the same interface.

They offer apps for your devices, as well as browser access.

With “catchall” turned on, you can give the address <whatever>@<your domain> and it still comes to you.

If you’re on the Apple system this is a good option. I use this as well as Yahoo through ATT as well as Gmail

Get your own domain. It's like $20/year, and I pay Google to host my domain, with access to G-Suite and a ton of cloud storage.

There are any number of other hosts you can use with online interface. If security is an issue for you, consider Hushmail.com out of Canada. It's a tad more expensive, but it's encrypted.I also believe that it's not subject to letters from US DOJ, but rather must be opened by order from a Canadian court.

I understand you aren't looking for a @gmail.com account, but this isn't that.

I use protonmail, pay the low yearly fee and have a couple of "custom domains" (really just entries in their MTA's (Mail Transfer Agent) database that says "accept mail for this entity"), you still have to register a domain name with a registrar and create MX records that point to ProtonMail's servers.

I front their servers with an AWS instance running Postfix so as to be able to have as many aliases as I want. Note that AWS blocks outgoing SMTP from hosted VMs by default, so you have to do something to either get them to unblock this from your VM, or figure out a way to bypass it. I do the latter by running a SSH tunnel to a host off their network.

I've used yahoo for years. I've heard complaints about it, but it works okay for me.
