One of the infuriating things with e-mail is, e-mail conversations are actually a tree structure but mail apps try to show them as threads which gets incredibly confusing

That, and every message contains every previous message so there's a superlinear growth in the size of the conversation. If your correspondents use a different mail client than you then your client probably won't know how to strip out the history so it becomes an unreadable mess

I hate #email so much, can it just die already?

@WeirdWriter Whichever provider you go with, I *strongly* recommend getting a domain name (ideally one you'd be okay with using professionally) and setting that up for your email address going forward. Most providers support this and offer guides for setting it up. A basic domain name will set you back about €10-€20 per year and you will never have to change your email address again; if whichever provider you choose now goes sour later, you can simply point the domain at a different one.

Finally have some free time to start moving away from a Gmail email address. Can anybody recommend a fully hosted email service provider?

I can pay.

Something like Fastmail, with the ability for aliases, and a clean, HTML, designed interface that isn't trying to be an app in a browser? But the ability to view messages as plain text.

Proton Mail is a no go because their LLMs poke all through your messages. I want something without AI bullshit.

I'd use Fastmail but they don't work with my VOIP mobile numbers and constantly engage in union busting so want something else.
