Okay looks like proton does a lot nowadays. But if someone wants a nice email provider that just works I can't stop to recommend posteo. A german email provider. 1€/month and they are just great. Been using them for 15 years now or something like that and I never had any problems. At least I can't remember any. They also always give out a transparency report[1] and apparently can't hand out much data to governments, because the data is just encrypted and they can't access it.

The only down side I have heard, that people have, is that you cannot use your own domains.

Not being able to use your domain is a pretty massive downside.

The great part about email is that you can move between providers without issues. I wouldn’t want to use a posteo.de email for all my services when I don’t know if they will be around in 10 years.

True and nowadays I would take that into consideration too. But I was young when I created that account (I think it was around some leak scandal or whatever that made me move from hotmail to posteo). But it turned out to be a nice decision.

For a business email this might not be cool tho. I get that

You can always use AnonAddy, SimpleLogin, or similar to receive emails at your domain then forward them to Posteo.
