I'd highly <br>
recommend deleting your account once you find a replacement. Even Gmail <br>
is preferable imo.<br>
<br>
As far as clients, I use FairEmail as my primary email app. It has an <br>
insane amount of options. The trick is to ignore all of that until you <br>
get the hang of the basics. Even then, there's no need to change advanced <br>
settings.<br>
<br>
Other than Thunderbird, Proton Mail and Tuta are the only others I'd <br>
recommend.<br>

<br>
If you want a better solution, I'd highly recommend buying a domain name <br>
(these can be had for a few dollars/year) and using a DNS hosting service <br>
like EasyDNS, who I've been working with for the better part of a decade.<br>
<br>
For $55/year (with domain registration) or $40/year without registration, <br>
the DNS Pro plan gives you 10 2GB email accounts, as well as 100 email <br>
aliases. They support IMAP and POP3, and they offer both Roundcube and <br>
Horde webmail.<br>
<br>
Email (which they call easyMAIL) has a turnkey setup wizard. You don't <br>
even need to understand DNS to set it up (though it would help). If you <br>
get stuck, they offer a free concierge service.<br>

FYI, I have no connection to the company aside from being a satisfied <br>
customer.<br>
