My own and as a side piece, also Tutamail and Proton but only on their free tier.
Well, good timing. I’ve just been researching alternatives and I’ve put together this table by reviewing these web sites.
Currency amounts are USD per month.
Disroot
Posteo
Mailbox
Tuta
Proton
Fastmail
Let me know if you think I got any of this wrong, eh.

Recently got invited to try the very new Port87 email, been working great so far! https://port87.com
Protonmail with Tutanota as a backup.
My college email is Google though. So I have to use that if I want to make an appointment with someone from the college or if I need to message a lecturer. Gmail is Fine*, the app is functional etc. But I don’t like Google as a company. Their reach and management give me pause. Would rather they get broken up and invest more in FOSS. But I’m doubtful I’ll see that any time soon.
Skiff.com I wanted to degoogle and Proton seems too bloated for me right now, too flashy and all. Same reason I cannot get used to thunderbird, I just need an email client not a whole suite. (Recommendations welcome haha)
I use Thunderbird and no other portion of their “suite”.
edit: unless you count Firefox. I use that, too. But, that’s all! I swear! lol
Protonmail with Blur Abine for most shopping or junk.
3 proton emails, 1 for gaming, 1 for anything with my real name, and 1 with my fake name.
I actually self host it on a Raspberry Pi. Downside is that I can’t set up reverse DNS lookup, so some email providers won’t let me sent emails to them but it’s not a huge issue for me because I rarely send emails anyway. I mostly use my email for registrating accounts and that sort of stuff.
tuta.com
I’ve been paying one euro per month for posteo for almost a decade now.
I’ve also been using posteo for a long time and I gotta say, if you just want email, calDAV and cardDAV which will work with any email client its great
Can you use your own domain there?
Not officially, but it appears possible if you’re willing to hack it
