I'm currently on Tuta, because I can't imagine Mail without a free tier. It's run out of Germany(EU). Its 3โฌ a month for the normal tier, free takes away most features. Like Proton, you need to use their (OSS)-Client, for encryption reasons. It's currently growing and I hope they don't go crazy anytime soon.
I was looking at Posteo, but I don't want my entire internet identity to be gone, if I ever can't pay for it.
Nice thing about Posteo, and which is AFAIK unique to them now, is they will never delete your account even if you stop paying. If you cease payments, they will let you log in and continue to receive email, but you cannot send emails until you pay again.
The only way your account gets deleted is if you manually delete it yourself.
Proton used to say your account would never be deleted from inactivity if you'd made at least one payment for premium service, but that policy was walked back last year I believe.
Fair point
Also, Posteo doesn't let you use custom domains.
PurelyMail is very cheap and it has unlimited custom domains.
