Fastmail, 100%. Reasons:

"Encrypted email" only works between encrypted providers. ProtonMail and Tutanota are both very inconvenient, and all I want is an email that's not scanned for marketing.
Since 2018, ProtonMail kept getting worse, especially with the recent AI stuff. Dodged bullet, IMO.
$6/month = Custom domains, and any amount of emails under those domains. I can send and receive from any domain xxx@yyy [dot] lynndotpy [dot] dev, for example.
CalDav and CardDav provider = Contacts, calendar, and reminders sync. Works perfectly on iOS too, if you like that.

It replaced my finnicky NextCloud for half the cost.

PGP encrypted e-mail works regardless of the provider btw.

True but go and explain that to the regular Joe..

yeah.. it's pretty hard to get non-techies to use encrypted mail. even proton's encryption is pretty useless as it's decrypted in their web client anyway.

You forgot the Fastmail killer feature. Masked email addresses.

I might have to change my provider. Paying the same with a worse featureset.
