I would recommend against GMX. They fill your inbox with their own garbage emails.I've been using GMX for several years and really love it. They have an app if you want but it also
works well with Apple's Mail app

yes, GMX supports push notifications. I have used them for several years and they do not data mine your emails. Rarely does spam get through to my inbox, maybe 1 or 2 a month but they are easy to add to the blacklist. There are a ad or two when using the GMX app but its basically nothing compared to gmail, hotmail, etc.. Also end to end encryption is available. I have an account for personal and one for my business and t's been the longest email service I've ever had
What? I've been using GMX for years and have never seen any garbage emails from them in my inbox.
Most will allow you to generate an application specific password that you can use in the mail client. Obviously this bypasses the 2FA prompt but you can still access your email through a mail client.
2FA would only be used when you first log into the account. Once you have logged in you would remain logged in - there is no further request for 2FA.
Same here. I replaced Google Maps with Apple Maps, Google Drive with iCloud Drive and a little bit of Dropbox, and moved all my non-personal email to iCloud. Now I'm going to take the plunge...Bojack Horseman said:
... and migrate back to Fastmail. I used them years ago (early 2000s) and they were always awesome. The prospect of all that free Google storage space and Gmail's other perks drew me in -- and over the years Gmail kind of became a lot of people's default email. It's getting harder and harder for me to justify using it given how incredibly horrible of a company Google has become. I'm at the point where I don't mind paying a little for email service, knowing that mining my email isn't a source of revenue for anyone.
It’s going to be different for whatever service you’re using if they provide that option at all. But essentially you generate an app password and use that for the password in the mail client instead of your normal account password.
So that new password is specific to the Mail app but your normal password still works with the mail client if you log into it directly with a browser? I'm not sure what added security this gives. So let's say you're using Outlook and someone hacked your Outlook password. They can then go into your Outlook account with a browser but can't do so if they're using Mail? Also, if someone hacked your new app password, they can go into your Outlook account using Mail? It's not really 2FA then, right?
Yes, like I said it bypasses the 2FA but it still allows you to access your account from a mail client that doesn’t support that service’s 2FA system.

I bought Proton, joined beta, but didn't realize my account could be accessed outside. I was hoping to use Proton as my single email client - Android, ios, Windows, Mac.Here's a vote for Protonmail. It's very secure and I also use their VPN. I access it from my Apple mail app.
