Okay, so I tried Tuta and found the UI clunky and buggy. I tried Mailbox.org and their billing is a mess and they took my money without crediting the account. *(I have a pending ticket, we'll see what they said.)

I do have a proton mail account, but I haven't given them $ yet because of... well you know. Sadly, out of the three I've tried their product is the best.

Wondering what to check out next. I really want to ditch the G but I'm evaluating services before I jump off the ledge this time.

Fastmail. They do just mail and aren’t attempting to be a full Google Suite replacement.

Been there for almost a decade with zero issues.

Fastmail has servers in the US, which is not great for privacy. Even if you use their EU server there's still a copy of your data in the US:

Resilient replicas of your data will live in the US (for now). As we only have one location in Europe so far, the geographically separate copy will remain on servers in one of our US locations.

Still better than what the Proton CEO is doing.
