I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?
Yep I started using Proton a few years ago with a paid account. Not too long ago they upgraded me for free(!) to the Proton unlimited plan. It has like 500 GB of storage. They also have calendar, drive, VPN and have recently come out with a password manager. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Another vote for Proton Mail! I’ve been using it for years with a custom domain. Keep in mind that your emails are secure and encrypted on PM’s servers, but not necessarily on the servers of your recipient.
I’ve been using disroot.org for a few years and it does what I expect. Recently I started a maddy.email server on a VPS and it’s easier than I thought.

To quote cock.li,
How can I trust you?
You can’t. Cock.li doesn’t parse your E-mail to provide you with targeted ads, nor does cock.li read E-mail contents unless it’s for a legal court order. However, it is 100% possible for me to read E-mail, and IMAP/SMTP doesn’t provide user-side/client-side encryption, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it. Any encryption implementation would still technically allow me to read E-mail, too. This was true for Lavabit as well – while your E-mail was stored encrypted (only if you were a paid member, which most people forget), E-mail could still technically be intercepted while being received / sent (SMTP), or while being read by your mail client (IMAP). For privacy, we recommend encrypting your E-mails using PGP using a mail client add-on like Enigmail, or downloading your mail locally with POP and regularly deleting your mail from our server.
migadu.com. Have been using them for quite a while and it works really well if your main goal is to have a few inboxes to receive email and do not want to mass-email anyone.
I use Tutanota, which is based in Germany. It’s FOSS and it’s apparently resistant to decryption by quantum computers, which is impressive. They are also currently working on TutaDrive, which is a quantum-resistant cloud storage provider.
Yeah the $10/mo plan for Pritin is actually super good, and they have a whole suite of tools that covers basically all you could need. Though I’ve been liking Tutanota, and they just announced an e2e cloud drive so I’m patiently waiting for that. I feel like if I wanted to get proton drive, I’d have to go into their whole ecosystem and don’t really want to migrate my setup and like the Tutanota company.
I've been using Proton since it first came out and have had no problems with it. I have a paid account because it's worth it to me to not be the product. And for about $5/mo I get encrypted email, calendar, vpn, drive, and password manager (though I primarily only use the first three).
They have a free version that lets you try it out, though with limited features.
