Wow, Proton keeps disappointing... Time to leave for me as well! I'm looking at Posteo as I'm worried Tuta will turn into the next Proton. Not only that, I'm sick of being stuck with the apps made by the providers, I'll use Thunderbird thank you!

I've been happy with Posteo + Thunderbird

Yes getting away from locked-in products is the best option. Buy a domain name + standard IMAP provider means you can very easily switch to another email provider if needed.
