For privacy, I believe Proton Mail https://proton.me/mail has been the standard.
proton’s honestly a great deal if you’re gonna use the VPN and Password managers. nice easy drop-in replacement for Gmail imo, not much point putting a ton of effort into it since email is inherently insecure
Honestly, gmail for bills and that kinds of stuff. iCloud for personal stuff. I do not really use email that much other than getting spam. I imagine that is true for most people. I do not understand why the privacy community is so obsessed with private email. Are you really using it for stuff that needs to be so private?
I just want to use a email provider who I can trust

I’ve been using ProtonMail for a while now and it works very well, they also offer a drive, calendar, password manager, VPN; you can choose if you want all the features or just email.
I also tried Tutanota and they do a good job as well, they’re a smaller company and don’t have as many features as Proton but if all you need is reliable, private e-mail, it’s a good option.

ProtonMail because they’re at the very least non-intrusive and don’t have a track record of snooping through emails, google im looking at you mf
Mailfence. Good company, secure, reasonably priced, reliable, they’re always improving.

any competently run service that gets you away from the tech conglomerates will work
fuck proton mail, bring your own encryption
I could invite you.
This would be nice

Any email with cock in the name will trigger filtering. It also has the side effect of making me unemployable
iCloud Mail. I have a Proton account, but the app takes several seconds to load and show me my messages on my phone and I hate the delay. Plus, as of iOS 17, Mail now autofills email verification codes and delete the email afterwards. Plus Mail is built into Siri and all that jazz, so it sometimes shows possible events that I can add to the calendar. So convenient.
