Recommended me a good private email provider

Do you use your custom domain or their own domain?

Proton logs users IP addresses and shares with law enforcement

Email isn't private. It was designed to be robust not private. Encryption never really caught on; and your counterparties using Gmail or some Microsoft server will kill any expectation of privacy you might have.
WW II's Gordon Welchman is worth reading about. Similar nasty end as Turing. Not as well known as Turing but a similar contribution before the encryption was actually solved.
Have used Zoho for decades, don't seem to have had any issues with them selling my info - use it with Addy.io. I don't gain anything from this reference/comment.

Been using Mailbox for years without any issue. German reliability. But the fact that one of Proton's directors revealed that he agrees with 75 million Americans does not mean that a whole company, based in Switzerland and with many other stakeholders, has "gone rogue". I'm not getting into a new fight about this here but I really think American progressives need to drop this religious approach to dissent and heterodoxy and just relax a little. It will be okay.

I've been using mailbox.org for a couple of years now (a full switch from gmail to make sure I hadn't left anything over took me about a year), and I'm very happy with the service, can wholeheartedly recommend.
-
I can second Posteo. Functional, affordable, FOSS, ecological and private enough for my needs.
-
Afaik they don't offer to use a custom domain.
-
Like all others. But they can't give a lot more.
-
you should take a look at the article linked by @asap down below.
-
It was the company’s official stance per their official social media account. Not just the CEO/one board member.
-
If you're breaking the law to such an extent that the Swiss government compels Proton to log your IP address, you can use Tor as Proton recommends for that exact use case.
-
Tuta. Regardless of email provider, chose one that lets you use your own domain - that way it's easier to change providers.
-
Proton's CEO seems to be a right-wing jackass.
-
As legally required. Any company that wants to operate aboveboard needs to comply with local law - that includes Proton.
-
Proton has not gone rogue.
-
I'm also looking to migrate and was recommended this service when I asked a similar question to OP. https://www.migadu.com/index.html
Unlimited inboxes. You're just limited to inbox space, but you can have multiple domains.
I'll be moving over to them when my current subscription runs out with my current provider
-
I don't care about that. I assume all sites keeps logs.
-
It does make me feel a little better, but the fact that they doubled down and hasn't gone out to clarify make me really disappointed. Because they are a non profit foundation makes it a bit more secure also.

Another mailbox.org user here. I did the same switch around the same time and I can recommend as well. Setting up custom domains is also not hard and well documented in their knowledge-base. I am also using it for calendars and contacts with no issues at all. A plus of their premium (3€/month) plan is that you have access to a series of other things (appointments, videoconferencing etc.) which are a nice thing to have if you need them (as an occasional teacher in academia I enjoyed having the options, especially since I could avoid Google/Microsoft stuff).
The only annoying thing is how they handle 2fa login on their website. I rarely need to login, but when I do I always suffer.
-
I strongly recommend this as well. Swapped to Tuta and my own domain after leaving Proton. Having a domain for future moves is huge, I wish I had considered it sooner.
