What are options to replace “G Suite legacy” when it's retired in May?

Fastmail is excellent. A bit cheaper than the new Google Workspace and less invasive. It supports multiple domains easily. Interface is great and the iOS app is just as great. I'm sure the Android version is good too.

Wow. No one here mentioned the obvious.

Transfer your domains to Google Domains. Use the free email alias feature to rewrite your custom domain users into Gmail users (or wherever else). Configure Gmail to send from your custom domain.

I do this. It works spectacularly.

I am using Migadu (https://www.migadu.com/) For one domain and I am planning to move my Google For Domains domain over to it as well. It supports multiple domains and mailboxes (it prices on message volume inbound and outbound). For us our usage fits into the 19USD/year price point. Everybody else seems to charge per user/address.

Yandex Connect? https://yandex.com/support/connect/add-domain.html

Up to 1000 mailboxes per domain https://www.yandex.com/support/connect/create-mailbox.html

For free, for now (though they now have a paid-tier https://360.yandex.com/business/ which they have integrated somewhat into the legacy and still free Yandex connect)

Can anyone clarify what G Suite covers and what's being taken away? If you sign up for a free Google account, you can use free gmail/docs/sheets/drive etc - that's not going away, is it?

I use a personal Gmail account and my custom domain hosted on zoho (for free) . Each user on the custom/zoho redirects all the mail to Gmail. Gmail is configured to default use the zoho smtp server as the outbound. This has worked great for me for years. When my parents' custom domain needs to be migrated shortly, I expect to set them up with the same thing.

I am planning to move email to iCloud+.

- Provides custom domain support.

- Is cheap ($1 for 3 email addresses).

- Has email web interface and imap access.

- Seems to support contacts and calendar sync via carddav, caldav - standard stuff I can sync my other devices with.

- Apple is reputable enough with security.

Drawbacks:

- No standard two-factor authentication like Google, needs an iPhone/mac for two-factor.

- Migrating Google Photos/shared will be a pain in the ass.

I started looking for options yesterday[1], currently these are the contestants:

* Google Workspace

* Fastmail

* ProtonMail

* Zoho Mail

* Tutanota

* (Mailbox.org)

Some European hosting providers have quite reasonable tiers for hosting with email, contacts, calendar, for example:

https://www.hetzner.com/webhosting

Not affiliated in any way, but a long time customer of some of their services.

https://purelymail.com/ is a simple alternative I've been using since I saw it posted here. $10 a year or https://purelymail.com/advancedpricing, mostly your choice depending on your usage.

If I ever migrate, what will happen to all the services I signed up with Google oAuth system ("Sign in with Google")?

Zoho email has a forever free plan with 5GB storage for upto 5 users.

Pretty decent. Have been using it for the past 3 years

If it's cost you’re worried about there are some creative options:

- Use Cloudflare mail beta with your SMTP

- POBox.com (fastmail lite in essence)

- Migadu

- Servermx

- Host your own solution on a VPS and use for example postmark for sending e-mail.

Thanks for posting this, am also curious.

Zoho has a 1 dolar per month plan, up to 5 or 6 users I think.

is Zimbra still a good idea?
