JFC are there no good options that do not require running my own mail server?
Running your own mail server, as troublesome and annoying as it may be, really is probably the best option.
I moved to Mailbox.org in the past few days. You can encrypt your inbox with PGP it appears, though I haven't quite got to it yet. Mailbox.org seems built by technical people, for better or worse.
For worse in a lot of ways unfortunately... No free tier to try and your account gets nuked in 30 days if you stop paying for some reason. If I'm going for mailbox, might as well go for Migadu or Purelymail.
Hmm I'm pretty sure I could make an account, and log in, with the restriction being I couldn't send email until I'd subscribed. So you should be able to test the features. I wasn't aware of the 30 days and you're nuked rule!
