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

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

Proton Mail just has 5 gigs for the free version. Doesn't seem like it's enough for me to switch to it long term.

They also expand your storage every year, so it's not like it's stuck there forever. For reference, I've been on Proton for about 3 years now (paid plan) and I have a data storage cap of 540GB and I've never had to buy more. Also, I all my emails so far only consume 340MB - so even on the free plan I'd still have years to go before I reached even 5GB.

(Also, I'll admit I don't email much.)
