Google's shenanigans around G+ were the final straw for me. I'd been growing increasingly uneasy about the amount of personal information I'd placed in the hands one of company.

As it became clearer that G+ was an attempt to harvest still more monetizable information I decided to bow out. I've now unplugged myself entirely from all Google services and I don't intend to ever again rely so heavily on any one company.



What do you use for email? I can't think of a strong alternative to gmail.


Right now I'm using fastmail.fm and Mail.app. There are some features I miss from gmail but it's good enough and I can use my own TLD more easily.


I've never understood why people love Gmail so much. The differences between Gmail and other email platforms aren't features to me, they are problems.


The UI and the spam protection mostly.

What other email platforms are you referring to?
