Proton Mail, Tutanota or Skiff should be good alternatives for you. Avoid any e-mail provider without EE2E and zero knowledge architecture.

I currently have an account on all three, but my daily is Skiff.

More important than e-mail provider to control spam is to use a unique e-mail address for each account you own. That could be attainable using e-mail aliases or e-mail forwarding services. Look up Simple Login, AnonAddy or even DuckDuckGo E-mail Protection for more information. Putting it simple, you create a different alias for each account. They all forward to your main e-mail inbox under different aliases. If needed, you can cancel the aliases thus ending spam from that origin.

I find it a very effective technique and my inbox is always pristine.
