Okay, so I tried Tuta and found the UI clunky and buggy. I tried Mailbox.org and their billing is a mess and they took my money without crediting the account. *(I have a pending ticket, we’ll see what they said.)
I do have a proton mail account, but I haven’t given them $ yet because of… well you know. Sadly, out of the three I’ve tried their product is the best.
Wondering what to check out next. I really want to ditch the G but I’m evaluating services before I jump off the ledge this time.
I use disroot, it’s great and the only email service I’ve seen that’s private but still supports IMAP, but your email arent encrypted by default unless you encrypt inside an email client like thunderbird and you can also get custom domains if you donate them money for life as well as use any email client you like if you don’t like one specific UI
Fastmail. They do just mail and aren’t attempting to be a full Google Suite replacement.
Been there for almost a decade with zero issues.
Fastmail has servers in the US, which is not great for privacy. Even if you use their EU server there’s still a copy of your data in the US:
Resilient replicas of your data will live in the US (for now). As we only have one location in Europe so far, the geographically separate copy will remain on servers in one of our US locations.
Still better than what the Proton CEO is doing.
Given that it’s November, if you aren’t in a hurry you might want to check whether whatever provider you decide to go with had a Black Friday sale last year. I wouldn’t let a sale be a deciding factor on what to use, but if a service you want to try is likely to have a sale in a few weeks you may as well wait.

I use Fastmail with my own domain. It’s great.
Fastmail
Using it for 2 or so years now, never had problems

wait for it, another new one that isn’t corrupt (yet) will spring up any time now to keep a protocol that was never private and by all rights should be left to die, alive.
I dunno, I think it’s pretty good.
Selfhosted
Try it. Show me your whisdom of how you maintain an email server as a webadmin, let alone one whose job is not maintaining it
Wow I really offended you
I know this is the best method for most reasons, but … I’m tired.
