I migrated away from Gmail recently. Might not sound like much, but it was hard to do after using them for years (I originally got my Gmail invite from Google directly).
Same. Just de-googled with my personal domain, whch was grandfathered in so have had it for a decade at no charge. Google began monthly charges for the G-Suite service ($6/month per user), and I only use e-mail so I deleted the G-Suite account.
Am now using a catch-all e-mail forwarding from my domain registrar which forwards incoming mail to my personal e-mail (e.g., on Protonmail, or Tutanota) but now I want to figure out the best way to use multiple e-mail accounts for my domain again. Probably will be paying for that on Proton, eventually.
I gotta look into adding TOTP 2FA (e.g., Google Auth) on that though. It's something I think about, ... my e-mail app on mobile is now signed in all the time (because of the hassle logging back in just to check e-mail), but I know someone that swipes my phone then has access to my e-mail, which would be an even greater hassle. So I'm hoping I can get set up where the mobile app will require the 2FA code (and only the 2FA code) when the screen is locked, or after an inactivity delay. Not sure if it works that way, so will be looking into that.
Exported my old gmail to an .mbox, which I can import into a mail client (Evolution on LInux).

The Proton Mail app supports locking and unlocking with a PIN, if that helps.

Cool, I'll look into doing that.

Used Proton mail for over two years now and they just keep getting better. I've also used their Drive service but I'm hoping when keet.io release a mobile version I won't need anything else for data transfer.

What do you use now?

Proton Mail. I also have my own domain that I send through PM as well. So the good thing here is I didn't have to ask anyone to change how they email me, since everyone uses my custom domain email. Now I get a little added security benefit of no one knowing my PM account name.

Do your emails ever bounce my Proton linked to my own domain does :/ anyway to fix issue I can probably just Google but thought I'd ask STACKER NEWS FIRST ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I probably haven't been using it long enough to have this problem.
