Protonmail and Tutanota are my favorites
Yeah Tutanota is great
I’ve been using mailbox.org for years and they’re great. I also like that they are following both German and EU rules/principles
I’ve been using Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook but there is just so much spam that comes through.
I’ve also been using Gmail since it launched. I support the privacy movement and agree with concerns around their usage of users’ data, but I’m just too far dug into the Google ecosystem and too dependent on that particular email address for all my sign-in stuff where I don’t want to spend the time migrating somewhere else.

I’ve just moved from outlook to my own domain on proton. Mainly due to spam. The spam filter just wouldn’t catch it and it was all really obvious shit with the same titles, constantly coming through regardless of how many times I reported it.
I use Posteo myself. Similar to Mailbox, $1 a month and I haven’t had any issues.
I got tired of all the problems with providers and learned how to run my own mail server twenty years ago. Certainly not an option for most people but I would never go back to relying on someone else for something I can do at home.
I used to do that too around back in 2005-2006. Then my ISP started blocking important ports and stuck us all on DHCP. For me, that’s when the internet started to suck. It’s just gotten worse and worse.
Well I’m lucky there… my city is my ISP, and I pay for the static IPs. I have completely unlimited access on my connection.
Fastmail and proton mail are usually recommended when this question comes up among technical groups.
I use Proton as well and it’s been great, but setting up their bridge for IMAP access in a way that worked for my setup was needlessly annoying (run on a headless server and access it from other devices within the network and docker containers on said server).
If you want to attach your own domain, I’ve been using Zoho and having no significant issue (although I haven’t really tried anything else). Otherwise, Apple’s seems to be the best value, surprisingly?
I’ve also been using Zoho for a couple of years now and am quite happy, especially considering the low price.
The only annoyance I’ve had is how many menus/pages they have in their web admin. Always takes me a while to find the right page where I can add an email alias to be able to send mails from or to generate an app specific password.
That’s a good point, I do find the UI a bit confusing too.

Edit: I was making a reference to the US version of the office. The way the question was phrased, I could not resist. Sorry everyone who thought I was serious!
