I'm trying to move away from Google and replace my Gmail account. But reading about the different options, I'm realizing I don't really understand email at all - e.g. the difference between the client and the domain name, the different protocols, encryption.

Does anyone have articles or books to suggest as a "Basics of Email: 101"? Thank you!

For another email provider alternative, I would suggest Forward Email. I still haven't used them yet, but my goal is to switch to them from Proton when I get around to it.

I was thinking of playing around with email hosting, at least for offline backups, and I've been interested in using Stalwart.

I also suggest Porkbun for purchasing a domain.
