Okay looks like proton does a lot nowadays. But if someone wants a nice email provider that just works I can't stop to recommend posteo. A german email provider. 1€/month and they are just great. Been using them for 15 years now or something like that and I never had any problems. At least I can't remember any. They also always give out a transparency report[1] and apparently can't hand out much data to governments, because the data is just encrypted and they can't access it.
The only down side I have heard, that people have, is that you cannot use your own domains.
Not being able to use your domain is a pretty massive downside.
The great part about email is that you can move between providers without issues. I wouldn’t want to use a posteo.de email for all my services when I don’t know if they will be around in 10 years.
You can always use AnonAddy, SimpleLogin, or similar to receive emails at your domain then forward them to Posteo.
True and nowadays I would take that into consideration too. But I was young when I created that account (I think it was around some leak scandal or whatever that made me move from hotmail to posteo). But it turned out to be a nice decision.
For a business email this might not be cool tho. I get that
