The one thing i use google is youtube and gmail. Idk how to move away from that…
Proton is in the process of removing their PC bridge in favor of a custom app. After they're done you won't be able to migrate your email away from their service anymore.
Which is ironic, when people are trying to flee from Google. Out of the fire and into the frying pan...

This is a show stopper for me on any of the big name 'encrypted' platforms, Proton, Tuta et al - impossible to import/export data. Moving from one silo'ed walled garden to another arguably worse one is anathema.
The thing that sucks the least for me is to pay to host my own email/contacts/calendar/storage via open source apps in a privacy friendly jurisdiction e.g. Hetzner
Going full DIY at home is not practical.
mailbox.org might be worth checking out, they're a German company trying to offer a comprehensive package - mail, calendar, some storage, some collaborative tools etc.
