If you are interested in switching from Gmail to EU provider and were hesitating because you weren't sure how to approach it this post is just for you!

I am describing my path where I switched to Soverin email provider and talking some details about desktop and mobile clients.

Soverin is EU based provider with servers in Europe, high privacy and years of experience.

I switched to posteo. 1eur / month, does the job. Also use Thunderbird on mobile.

If people plan on switching my recommendation is not to do it all at once. Create the new email account and then slowly when you use accounts or buy something online point to the new account. It's also a good idea since you start a fresh email account to not give your email to just any random websites or services. For this I use firefox email relay that I also pay 1$ per month.
