I prefer to pay someone... okay, anyone, who isn't Google. Fastmail, O365, Proton, whatever. Solves the problem and supports non-Google options.

I actually want to switch to O365/outlook for my family domain name but refuse on principle because even with O365 Premium they require you to transfer your domain to GoDaddy...
At the moment I'm with Fastmail, but the pricing isn't so competitive

Not according to this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-your-own-doma...
But isn't that product ("Outlook Premium") closed off to new subscribers since 2017? (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-com-premi... ) I also had a similar experience to the parent poster, i.e. MS support required transferring the domain to godaddy before one could use it for Outlook if using a consumer-focused O365 plan.

Oh. Color me corrected. That requirement honestly sounds insane.
I've been on Mailbox.org for a while now while co-evaluating others. Apart from a few UI quirks and slow-ish support, the service has been rock solid and nice. It also supports push email for ios devices.
