Fastmail is a good alternative. I hear mixed opinions about mailbox.org Posteo comes teongly recommendes for their focus on privacy Tutamail is also very good on that front, but you can only use it with their apps and programs. There are many many options, but you can find more on the privacy focused communities on lemmy.
I use Fastmail way too much to change but I wouldn't choose it as it's the most expensive one. The good: you can create any random email for throwaway accounts, the bad: it's expensive. Mailbox.org is really ugly and their 2FA sucks (last time I checked you had to put the generated number at the end of the password which is weird and annoying) but it's the cheapest of them all if you take the light account.
If I had to change, I would go for Tuta, Posteo, or Runbox.
I took mailbox because i thought @mailbox.org looked professional, atleast better than something like @tutamail.com They market themselves as privacy concious but they aren't, really. It has support for PGP and all, but the whole thing is just a wrapper around the Open-Xchange standard, and a barebones wrapper at that. Development happens at a snails pace, meaning it has fallen behind most of its competitors. The 2FA implementation is partial at best, the "Open Sessions" page which is supposed to list and allow you to log out of connected sessions only lists browser based sessions - not connections via IMAP with other software meaning using open source programs like thunderbird won't show up on the open sessions page.
You can check the mailbox forums for a long list of threads where users air their grievances at an at-best understaffed, at-worst indifferent, staff.
