Re: alternatives to gmail?



not at all.
Aside from the lack of practical processes, a company might configure their web interface to be perfectly functional for me without using any of these webmail software programs, at all. Therefore my own method of a simple visit is perfectly fine...for me, which is the point.

Yes, you want to find an email hosting company.

*But specifically you need to find an email hosting company that
provides webmail software that works as you need it to*.

Knowing what webmail software works for you would rather help in this,
wouldn't it.

You can try every email hosting company under the sun or you can try
software (and find some you like) and then find a company that hosts it.
The two approaches are not mutually exclusive.

Your method does not provide a firm and absolute way of determining
the presence  of such webmail software.

Actually, yes it does. But it needs you to do some research, just as you
did with Protonmail (as below)!

My own method, which is how I checked out Protonmail,  involved
visiting their   webmail interface via a link from their site..and I
knew swiftly if it was workable, end of investigation.

Exactly! And that is what I have been suggesting, except I have been
suggesting that you do it from the software perspective, thus allowing
you to perhaps more efficiently, more quickly, and more usefully find
companies that actually do host the webmail software that works as you
need it.

Finding out what works (in terms of webmail software) would surely be an
advance on where you are now, as it would then allow you to find email
companies that host it.
