Proton mail
In no particular order: Fastmail, Proton, ~~Outlook~~, ~~iCloud~~, ~~Yahoo~~, Gandi (free if you buy a domain), I've heard Hey is ok, but haven't used it.

When I was doing the same research a few years back Fastmail was recommended to me and Iโve been very happy with it. It was fairly easy to set up with an email address from my own domain too.
Tutanota or Protonmail
I use ProtonMail
They dont really support normal mail clients so no, no alternative.
I would look on privacyguides.org
posteo.de, mailbox.org and others are also good
And dont forget about cock.li !

Check out posteo. It costs โฌ1/month (you can pay more for extra aliases). Seems like a cool company, and you can use it with your own email apps (Thunderbird, K9, etc).
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned PurelyMail. Its technically in beta, but I've been using it without issue since the beginning of this year (2023).
Also using PurelyMail, tt's the cheapest non-free email service I can find.
It passes email delivery tests, setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC easily without issue.
The downside is that it's basically one man handling whole this service, but I assume this service has been fully automated because the margin of profit is so low.

I just use IMAP through my domain hosted on Dreamhost (had it for about 13 years now??) and then use K9 and Thunderbird to read it.
Don't need to deal with all the hosting my own mail server spam and ISP nightmare :)

I use fastmail so I can easily use a desktop client and create aliases with bitwarden and it's a great service the only downside is it's not as private as proton mail, but I don't consider email private or secure
proton mail is pretty decent.
not the most private solution but it's still better

I am happy with Proton.
Proton mail!
Very happy with runbox.com. Hosted in Sweden, reasonable price, and - unlike proton - you can use your own frigging mail client
proton mail (if you wanna exclusively use it pay for it), tutanota and any eco focused one. if you wanna keep using some Gmail accounts use k-9
I've been using migadu for almost a year now for mail, tasks, calendars. Works great for me.
