Best Gmail alternative? (self.asklemmy)

I'd like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I'd like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)

I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.

Do you know anything that could be the "aegis 2fa" of email providers?

Thank you and have a good day/night.

I would say Tuta or Runbox or Posteo, but the truth is that any paid account that is not Google or Microsoft is way better than anything so as not to be profiled too much with their trackers and privacy-invasive practices.

On the technical side, no email is ever safe from being read either by the sending server or the receiving one. Email hasn't changed for the past 50 years.

Which is why you should learn to set up PGP

Which is why ~~you~~ you and your recipient (which makes it a lot more difficult) should learn to set up PGP
