Best Email Hosting For Small Business

Even though Gmail is considered one of the most popular e-mail platforms, many users tend to think there are much better services in the category. Many people complain about the new window for writing letters as they find it less convenient and adjusted for users’ needs. If you have several Google accounts, you cannot look through more than one at a time (in one tab).

Besides, users cannot import contacts from other mailing services to Gmail. Of course, you can open different accounts in different tabs, but this is not a good option. The most important thing is that Google is scanning every sent or received electronic message in your account. The reason for this is to allow advertisers studying the interests of Internet users and show more relevant advertisements to them. Essentially, this is interference in private lives.

If you decided to give up your Google Gmail account due to the abovementioned reasons or to simply open a new e-mail platform, we are delighted to introduce our top ten!
